Description
by Sandra Bowman (Author)
She Had Been a Tomboy: Raising A Transgender Child, A Mother's Journey is a bold, emotional, and eye-opening memoir about a child guarding a secret identity and a mother who spends two and a half decades in search of answers for "his" anguish.
With the early birth of her "son" in 1987, author Sandra Bowman and her family grow up during a time when little is known about being transgender. This, coupled with the reality that her child is a "typical" boy in both body and expression, renders it impossible for her to see her son for what he truly is-her daughter.
Through poetic, raw, and honest prose, Sandra presents a complex and illuminating narrative that lays bare her years of confusion and her enduring efforts to "fix" what is troubling her child.
Passing through the tumultuous pubescent years and ending in young adulthood, She Had Been a Tomboy is an account of a transgender experience like none other in print today. It is one of struggle and continuous uncertainty, fear and heartache-but in the end it is a story of recovery.
