1. I Heard Her Call My Name
"I Heard Her Call My Name" is a memoir by Lucy Sante that delves into her journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Born in Belgium to conservative parents, Sante moved to the United States and found solace in New York City's bohemian culture during the 1970s. Despite building a successful writing career, she felt disconnected from her true self, living a life that felt like a performance. The memoir intertwines her life's journey with her recent transition, exploring her experiences and challenges in aligning her inner and outer identities. Through her story, Sante offers a thoughtful reflection on gender identity and the pursuit of authenticity.
