Title: Through the Door of Life: A Jewish Journey Between Genders.
Author: Joy Ladin.
With much honesty and humor, Professor Ladin recounts her struggles as she becomes a transgendered woman . . . all while teaching literature at the Orthodox Jewish campus of Yeshiva University in New York.
Her poignant memoir takes us from her years as a devoted family man -- through to her transition to a woman. Her deep struggles with her faith are painfully described -- but are balanced out with some humorous struggles as she learns to walk and talk as a woman. A very engrossing read!
Non-fiction; rated 3 out of 5.
