Life Songs: A Genderqueer Memoir

There are those songs the special ones that sear into your memories. They remind you of your first kiss. A road trip with your best friends. A broken heart. The death of a loved one. That moment at a party when you first met that special someone and the perfect song was playing in the background. Life Songs: A Genderqueer Memoir tells the story of Audrey MC's 40-year journey from a confused adolescent in Central Texas to an empowered adult in Brooklyn, New York as she struggles to deal with a persistent, nagging question, "What's wrong with me?" Audrey weaves her tales of love and loss as each chapter focuses on a song, an artist, or an album which soundtracked a specific event in her life. Join her on her journey as she discovers, through songs by Joan Jett, Donna Summer, Daft Punk, The Cure, The Smiths, and more, the true wonders of self-acceptance within the grey area of our society's imposed gender binary.
