good book, but long read. Well worth it. 5 stars. The story of a hermaphrodite who was born with both genatalia. Raised as a girl , as the male genatalia went unnoticed at birth. She was in a bad car wreck as a teen , when they discovered the male genatalia. She made a very tough decision to relive her life as a man. She had never menstruated or had female breasts. And these facts contributed to her decision to become a male. Very good.
