Raymond Thomson tells the story of his life. He was born a girl into a close-knit family in a working-class community in South Wales. He realized by the age of five that he was "in the wrong body". A childhood lived in a state on misery was followed by an adolescence full of confusion and rage. He recounts his experiences from the painful battles with his family to his time in Borstal and then prison. His relationships with women are described, including his love for Loretta, the woman who he hoped would be there at the end of his journey.
