The Book
description:
Being Caught Between a Tie and High Heels has been my struggle since early childhood. Reluctantly wearing the tie, but always wanting the high heels. You've heard about some of that journey on the podcast. Now, you can read the story behind it all.
This is an authentic tell-all about what it was like growing up, trying desperately to understand why my inside didn't match my outside, and discovering my true self along the way.
Your neighbor, co-worker, or friend could live a similar life, and you don't even know it. Everyone has a story that they keep to themselves. Well, that is, until they decide to publish a book about it.
what people are saying:
Woven throughout the hard bits of her story is an inescapable brightness that shines through in personality and courage. I can confirm that this brightness also shines out of her eyeballs in person, and makes her a wonder to behold. The sarcasm and wit and absolute genuine individuality she shows in this book makes it a must-read.
Jaimee's story is unflinching, honest, and a dream that became a focus, that turned into a piercing look at all that she has been and all that she is.
She has decided how she will do what she will do with the time given to her.
With the adventure called life. You gotta read this book.
I brought it home and began reading. At turns funny and poignant, her openness and honesty carried me through her life, educating me about the emotional and physical components of the journey toward fully embracing herself as a transgender person. A great read!
