Sex Changes: A Memoir of Marriage, Gender, and Moving On
"Christine Benvenuto's Sex Changes is a long overdue book: the story of her experience with her husband's gender transition is complex and questioning, and always honest. It suggests how deeply transformative recovering from the loss of a marriage can be." --Helen Boyd, author ofShe's Not the Man I Married"Christine Benvenuto pulls us into the eddies of heartbreak, confusion, anger, and epiphany that swirl in the wake of her shattered marriage. Benvenuto, like the best of memoirists, has that clear, true voice that transforms her story into my story -- the details are different, but not the emotions. And as she makes her way through uncharted waters, discovering unseen facets of herself, I, too, make discoveries about myself. This is the power of storytelling at its best." --Sally Ryder Brady, author ofA Box of Darkness: The Story of a Marriage"A refreshingly gutsy narrative that offers a compelling view of sexual maturity and a sexual coming-of-age at midlife." --Kirkus
