"Selenis and Marizol Leyva have crafted a moving and searingly honest portrait of what it means to lead an authentic life. By turns poignant and anguishing, the story of Marizol's journey as she fights to become who she was always meant to be will capture your imagination, but it is the immutable bond between sisters that, in the end, will break your heart."-- Kate Mulgrew, author of How to Forget and Born with Teeth

Synopsis
A powerful, honest memoir by two sisters -- one a star on Orange Is the New Black , one a trans woman and activist -- about transitioning, family, allyship, and the path to self-realization. When Selenis Leyva's parents adopted a baby into their warm, loving family, Selenis was immediately smitten. The pair were always close; Selenis showered her younger sibling with affection, who in turn looked up to Selenis and followed her everywhere. The siblings realized, almost at the same moment, that the younger of the two was struggling with their identity. As Marizol transitioned and fought to define her identity, Selenis and her family struggled to support her. In My Sister , they narrate their shared journey, challenges, and triumphs. In alternating chapters, Selenis and Marizol write honestly about the issues of violence, abuse, and discrimination that trans people and women of color--and especially trans women of color--experience daily. And they are open about the messiness and confusion of fully realizing oneself and being properly affirmed by others. Profoundly moving and instructive, My Sister offers insight into the lives of two siblings learning to be their authentic selves. Ultimately, theirs is a story of hope, one that will resonate with and affirm those in the process of transitioning, watching a loved one transition, and anyone taking control of their gender or sexual identities., When Selenis Leyva's parents adopted a baby into their warm, loving family, Selenis was immediately smitten.

When Orange Is the New Blac k and Diary of a Future President star Selenis Leyva was young, her hardworking parents brought a new foster child into their warm, loving family in the Bronx. Selenis was immediately smitten; she doted on the baby, who in turn looked up to Selenis and followed her everywhere. The little boy became part of the family. But later, the siblings realized that the child was struggling with their identity. As Marizol transitioned and fought to define herself, Selenis and the family wanted to help, but didn't always have the language to describe what Marizol was going through or the knowledge to help her thrive.

They write honestly about the issues of violence, abuse, and discrimination that transgender people and women of color--and especially trans women of color--experience daily.

- e***r (1108)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat price on a recently published vegetarian cookbook. The condition exceeded my expectations-I would describe it as like new! My order arrived practically overnight in double layered packaging with thick bubble wrap. I’ve enjoyed browsing through many inviting recipes accompanied by high quality photographs…can’t wait to try some out! A++++ seller!
- 2***1 (399)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI did the buy 2, get 1 free sale and all the books were shipped together very securely. They were doubled bagged in bubble wrap envelops, and arrived very quickly. The books are in excellent condition; better than I expected coming from a second hand. The package also included a print out of my order that detailed the quality and any appearance issues noted by the seller. Overall, this was a very informative and transparent transaction.
- s***o (189)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis bookseller is the best of the big companies that I have experienced thus far. The books cost a little bit more than others but are worth it as they’re delivered in almost mint condition. (No bloodstains or rodent feces like some others I won’t name here) The time that it took for me to receive my order was exceptional compared to other massive bookstores. It was as if they actually cared about me getting my order in a timely manner. The books were double-wrapped neatly.
