Purchase:
Lisa Lacriola's memoir spans a 15-year-plus journey into an alternative lifestyle full of richness and complexity after being alienated by my biological family. This is a story about an extraordinary relationship with a transgendered individual who taught me what it truly means to love beyond gender and how my time with him impacted my future choices, and the importance of forging chosen families, thus allowing me the freedom to explore myself fully and without reservation, eventually coming to the realization and personal acceptance of who I am, today, raw, sensual, and natural.
