In this remarkable memoir former Olympian and Kardashian family
member Caitlyn Jenner reveals shocking and heartbreaking stories
from her journey to become a transgender woman and fight for the
LGBTQ+ community. Imagine denying your core and soul. Then add to
it the most impossible expectations that people have for you
because you are the personification of The American Male Athlete.
Bruce Jenner, the celebrated Olympic icon and later the patriarch
of one of the most famous families in the world, seemed to be
living a dream life of success, fame, and prosperity. But the
all-American image and million-dollar smile belied a lifelong
struggle with gender dysphoria, and it wasn't until the sensational
Diane Sawyer interview that the public mask of Bruce Jenner was
finally retired, and through the memorable Vanity Fair piece by
Buzz Bissinger, that Caitlyn Jenner was introduced to the world and
set free to exist on her own terms. Since then, Caitlyn has
undertaken an arduous emotional and physical odyssey to achieve the
completeness she always felt was missing. In The Secrets of My
Life, Caitlyn reflects on the inner conflict she experienced
growing up in an era of rigidly defined gender identities, and the
cruel irony of being hailed by an entire nation as the ultimate
symbol of manhood. She recounts her Olympic triumph, her rise to
fame, and relates how her sense of frustration and shame grew with
the passing years and the lengths to which she had to go to conceal
her true self. Caitlyn in turn uncovers the toll that these
personal struggles had on her three marriages and, subsequently,
the relationships with her children. She also talks candidly about
her life in the public eye as a member of the Kardashian clan, what
led to her decision to become Caitlyn, and how she, her family, the
transgender community, and the rest of the world has since embraced
her new life. Filled with incredibly personal and moving stories of
struggle and victory, of anxiety and fear, and, finally, of
surrender and acceptance, The Secrets of My Life reveals the real
Caitlyn Jenner by tracing her long and eventful journey to becoming
herself.
