Chaz Bono's groundbreaking and candid bank account of an 40-year battle to match his gender personality with his physical body and his transformation from feminine to male. Initially, America knew the only real child of Sonny and Cher as Chastity, the cherubic little girl who appeared on her parents' Television show. In old age, she became famous for coming out on the national stage, dealing with two major organizations toward LGBT (lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transgender) privileges and posting two books. And just within days gone by 18 months, Chaz Bono has entered the general public consciousness as the utmost high-profile transgender person ever. During the hoopla surrounding his change, Chaz has insisted on maintaining his level of privacy. Now, in Changeover, Chaz finally instructs his storyline. Part One traces his decision to transition, from his child years - when he enjoyed on the kids' groups and wore kids' clothing whenever you can - and going through his agonizing, but in the end joyful, coming out in his 20s, up to 2008, when, after the death of his daddy, drug craving, and five years of sobriety, Chaz was finally ready to begin the procedure of changing his gender. PARTLY Two, he provides an unprecedented record in words and photos of the real transition, a real-time diary as he navigates uncharted waters. These chapters capture the day-to-day momentum of his life as his body changes. Throughout the publication, Chaz details on styles of personality, gender, and sexuality; parents and children; and exactly how harboring secrets shatters the soul. It is an incredible contribution to our understanding of a much-misunderstood community.
