Description
Lucy Sante narrates her intimate and poignant memoir of her transition, delivering vignettes from her life with authenticity. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Lucy’s story. Lucy realized early in her life that she was female, but it was not until her sixties in 2021 that she transitioned and shared her news with her friends. Her lifelong success as a writer comes through in her near-poetic storytelling without being saccharine. Listeners will hear her comfort in her identity, and the joy in her new life is lovely.
