The Secrets of My Life

Description

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In this remarkable memoir - written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger during her pivotal first years of rebirth - Caitlyn Jenner reflects on her past as she looks to her future. With poignancy and humour, Caitlyn writes about her confusion growing up, the temporary triumph of the Olympics as Bruce Jenner, and the noose of being endlessly described as the ultimate in manhood. She reveals her sense of shame and deceit she felt as she got older, as she went to great lengths to tell lies to conceal her true self. She also delves into her life in the public eye; her marriages and her troubled relationships with her children; what lead to her decision to becoming Caitlyn, and how the transgender community and the world has embraced her new life. Written with a searing honesty, this books shows you the real and true Caitlyn.

Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, is an American television personality and retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete. Buzz Bissinger is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of a number of highly acclaimed non-fiction titles, including Friday Night Lights. He also wrote the landmark Vanity Fair story announcing Caitlyn's transition.

The memoir is funny, shocking in parts and above all incredibly honest. * OK! MAGAZINE * Her refusal of bullshit is refreshing and sometimes eye-popping. -- Sarah Ditum * NEW STATESMAN *
