Paralian

Just as Liam assures in the introduction that his story is written from the heart, my own heart opened warmly to receive it. His self-narrative is driven by water and German philosophy, all working to jetty him past a cloistered romping childhood, a self-inquisitive, sensuous teenagehood, and an artistic, motivated, abundantly caminoistic adulthood. I enjoyed every year, every moment immensely and followed him through times of trauma and celebration, squeezing his hand therapeuticly all the way.

Received this in a good reads give away. I found myself being inspired every page. This is a story about Liam's experiences and journey. I was inspired by his strength and positive nature. It's all about finding your true self and loving yourself unconditionally. No matter what journey you're on, live life with no doubts or regrets.

I am definitely inspired by your story. So much of the trans narrative is doom and gloom, and your story is not that at all. It is important that the world knows that being trans is not an impedement to an exciting and fulfilling life. Thank you for that! I will look forward to your new book coming out!

This was truely an inspiring book about a young man trapped in the body of a woman and his love of water. Having a transgender son myself I could appreciate the fears and anxieties Liam was faced with as he struggled to find himself. Some of the parallels between Liam and my son born a girl in 1986 are uncanny. My son was also born prematurely but by 11 weeks and although weighing a healthy 3lb 9 oz, he was starved of oxygen and as such, has mild cerebral palsy with a slight spasticity in his left leg and slight lack of coordination. Like Liam, my son is exceptionally clever and always studying for more qualifications. This book shows Liam's determination and willpower to succeed in whatever he undertakes. Despite the odds, Liam is never deterred. Even in the face of adversity, Liam still manages to overcome the difficulties and discrimination he is faced with. It was lovely to read at the end of the book that he finally finds his sole mate. After all that Liam has faced and the many journeys he has undertaken, I wish Liam every happiness in the future wherever it takes him next.

I finally finished this book. I had read some reviews about how long the book felt. I approached the book more as a collection of short stories since each chapter felt like a separate chunk of his life that added to the whole. I enjoyed reading about his experiences and how he struggled to live authentically and freely.
