Tina lives in North London. Her father left home seven years ago and Tina has only vague remembrances of him. Her mother is fully occupied with the bare of a man she has brought into the house, Graham, a strong arm man for a London gang. Tina hates him, the more so because she finds his behaviour to her and to her mother unbearable. He is free with his hand, a slap here and even worse, a caress. As Graham's attentions increase Tina starts to panic. She like many of her acquaintances, decides to run from this unsatisfactory house which is no longer a home. She runs to Paris, and finds work and an older man who teaches her much. Suddenly she finds herself with no job, no boy friend and nowhere to live. She is rescued by someone she has read about in magazines and just as life starts to have a new meaning for her, there is fresh danger.

There seems nothing in human behaviour, so incomprehensible as sex change. Most born as male or female are happy to be so, but a small number of males and females feel unhappy in their natal sex and want to change.Statistics of such a rare syndrome are bound to be inaccurate, but it seems that three or four males to every one female want to change sex. The statistic for men ranges from one in 7,400 to 30,000.This is not a life style choice. It is a deep seated malignancy of the psyche, which makes every minute lived in what they consider to be the wrong sex, a life of supreme disappointment and longing.There is no cure. In the 1960s, aversion therapy, group therapy and other more violent therapies were tried. For those afflicted who are denied therapy to change, the result is often suicide.This is my story. I am supremely happy as a female but lived a life of misery as a male. Every day spent as a male seemed to be a lie. I tried my best to be what I was supposed to be, but eventually I could continue no longer. By luck this coincided with a change in medical attitudes, otherwise I believe I would not have survived.

He begins his journey to some kind of heaven but the road is long and arduous. Luckily he has his sisters and finds more friends that he ever imagined. There are enemies too, hiding behind their faith and they can be truly dangerous.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Things Must End ... 28 Jan. 2015By Charlie O - Published on Amazon.com.... Be they Good or Bad.In Trudi's case it was the love of her life and the person who helped make her who she became.Trudi continues on her path to becoming a great Lady in the true sense. Along the way she does her best to help those who need it and enable those that are driven to move forward. Some chaff has to be dealt with and there in lies a mystery for one that likely deserved what he got. You will need to read the story to find out who and why.Another mystery surrounds the death of the mother of Simon's children that is also left hanging only to reappear and indirectly results in Simon's death.Adrienne did a wonderful job of adding mystery into the otherwise purpose driven life of Trudi.Takeaway's include, -- Presentation makes a difference. ie. Dress and act as you expect others to see you. If you dress and act as a Lady or Gentleman then others will respond to you as such. Act as a Slob or Punk then expectations will be as you deserve.-- Treat others with the respect they earn.-- Help those in need and reward those that perform. The corollary is that some times culling is needed.-- Follow your heart and do the right thing.The story of Trudi displays a Rags to Riches account of a True Lady that is Selfless in helping those around her with Compassion..In reading this episode in Trudi's life it brought back memories of the Life and Times of William Volker (Mr. Anonymous of Kansas City, MO) who also lived a Selfless life helping build a great business empire and enabling those around him as well as helping others in need... William married my Great Aunt Rose and was a major key in leading Kansas City to greatness much as Trudi did with Simon's empire. The point of these two stories to me is that -- Greatness begets Greatness -- be it Fiction or Real Life.Yes this is a Transsexual oriented story but it about so much more and puts the human condition on display.Another Great Job Adrienne and Thanks> Go to Amazon.com to see the review 5.0 out of 5 starsAmazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 review

This is the fictional account of a girl born a boy, from toddler to young adult, and her journey of discovery to find her real identity. The scene moves from Surrey to Cambridge to Lincolnshire, where her duel life as Tim and Trudi is discovered by Vanessa, woman of the World and ex runway model, who becomes young Trudi's real life fairy godmother. The scene moves on to France and Italy, but it is the adventures in Paris with the characters of the haute couture trade and above all, her meeting with Simon de Beauvonne, suave and sad, that are to alter her life forever. There are depictions of sex and scenes roughly based on events in the authors own life, so beware.

Trudi is now eighteen. She has a place at Cambridge University to study medicine, but instead she arrives in Paris to enroll in the Pierre and Marie Curie Faculty of the Sorbonne under the influence of Simon, and is living in an apartment in his Paris mansion. Her benefactor, Simon de Beauvonne may have his own agenda, and his life is complicated with an haute couture house to manage and an estate to run. His wife hates Trudi. Why? Somehow Trudi manages to attract friends who can help her study in the extremely competitive Sorbonne, but it is all hard work. If Simon loves her, how will he resolve issues with his wife Catherine? Scenes of Paris life and the fashion trade intermingled with intrigue and tragedy.
