Summaries

An inspiring journey to authenticity by a high-powered lawyer in Texas living the American dream who, at 57, comes out as trans. Facing social and career fallout, she navigates her new life with her wife of over 30 years and family.

A wildly successful patent attorney, Danielle Joy "DJ" Healey, was in the peak of her career when, at 44, she first admitted out loud the secret she'd been hiding for decades: Danielle is a trans woman. She keeps this secret for over a decade until in 2017 at the age of 57, she's finally ready to come out on Facebook. How does this transition affect her 30-year marriage to her wife Becky, their two daughters, and her prestigious law career in the vortex of Texas conservatism? As the political landscape evolves and Danielle's world expands, she integrates into the LGBTQ+ community, making new friends and using her legal prowess to help fight for the rights of her trans and queer brothers, sisters and siblings.—S.E. King
