Description
A New York Times Best Book of 2024, Lucy Sante's memoir is a story of self-discovery and growth. Born to conservative Catholic working-class parents in Belgium, Lucy felt like an outsider in the United States, but found her place in New York City in the early 1970s. As she navigated the city's bohemian scene, Lucy's life was marked by both creative success and personal struggle. She flirted with fame and fortune, while also confronting the challenges of her own identity. In this memoir, Lucy shares a powerful and moving account of her journey towards self-acceptance. With unbounding humility and hope, Lucy parses the issues of gender identity and far beyond, creating a vivid and compassionate portrait of a life with a missing piece that finally falls into place.
