Finding the Real Me
From a young age I struggled with a lack of sexual identity.
I was born on a tropical island to deliriously happy parents. My father was all man – robust, authoritative and protective, and my mother was all woman – delicate, fragile and supportive. I grew up with two older brothers who were academic wizards, while I colored cows a... >Read More

An Unexpected Life
He told me with a pair of diamond earrings. “Happy birthday,” my husband said, his eyes glassy. I knew something was wrong. My birthday was still a few weeks away.
Then David said it: he was going to Iraq. He’d received orders that his squadron would be deployed in a few weeks, and he would be leaving for war… on... >Read More
