For most of his life, Darryl knew that there was something different about him. A femininity that came naturally, even though he was a boy -- and as time went on, everything around him taught him to suppress that part of his identity. In doing so, Darryl began on an passionate pursuit of answers, leading him to ministry within the Catholic Church, then onto a life within the Evangelical Christian world where he got married and started a family -- all while trying to ignore and hide the storm clouds of questions that was looming above him, until the secret came flooding out to reveal Darryl's true identity as Ellie.
While many books have been written to try and explain the transgender community, Walking Towards Cordelia gives readers an inside glimpse into Ellie's life -- her past, her struggles, and the pain that she endured to become who she is, and the questions of belonging that still lay before her as she continues through her transition. It's a must-read for anyone who is trying to understand their own self, the reality behind the transgender identity, and how belonging and existing isn't as simple as it sounds.
