The Story of How I Became a Man

with Billie Fitzpatrick. Dutton. Apr. 2011. 288p. ISBN 9780525952145. $25.95. CD: Penguin Audio.
COPY ISBN
Bono (child of Sonny & Cher) traces his very public transition from Chastity to Chaz in a two-part work that first discusses his gender-identity issues in childhood and struggle with addiction as an adult and then recounts, step by step and with photos, his transition from woman to man. Interest will be sparked as much by Bono's high profile as by his story.
