This book is for individuals that have an interest to grow their understanding of the realities facing the transgender community today. I hope that transgender family, friends, colleagues and the general population can appreciate my journey and will understand how essential it is to support individuals who choose a life of authenticity with respect to their gender identity despite the social stigma being imposed upon them. Living an authentic life is a gift for us all. The journey is like being re-borne where one redefines themselves and must learn much all over again. Its foreign territory for both transgender people and the general population which presents many challenges to overcome with little time given to learn. The courageous journey for self improvement can be an inspiration for us all and goes much beyond the physical appearance. Join me in discovering "Lucia: The Life of a Transgender Person."
