China's First Transgender: The Life and Times of Zhang Kesha, (Hardcover)

At a very young age, Zhang Kesha could not relate to

being a boy, having a preference for girls with their dolls as

playmates. As he grew older, his clothing and appearances

drew unwelcome attention, but the taunts and criticism

failed to dampen his quest to attain full fledge womanhood.

In 1983, he became she, but difficulties and dangers seemed

to multiply. Seeking refuge in a number of locations, Kesha

finally found her peace and tranquility with a new marriage

and a full life in Sacramento, California.
