She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders
From Publisher's Weekly:

She's Not There is the story of a person changing genders. Writing in a voice that is both hilarious and deeply moving, Jennifer Finney Boylan explores the remarkable territory that lies between men and women, examines the changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of family. But above it all, it is a love story—the love of James for his wife, Grace, and against all odds, the enduring love of Grace for the woman who becomes her "sister," Jenny. To this extraordinary true story, Boylan brings the humorous, fresh voice that won her accolades as one of the best comic novelists of her generation. With her distinctive and winning perspective, She's Not There explores the dramatic outward changes and unexpected results of life as a woman.
