On Sale for a limited time - postage will be charged
A searing account of the author s physical, spiritual and emotional journey from man to woman. Josephine Emery is a proud, confident woman: an Australian writer and film-maker. She has published four novels and seen five of her movies into production. She ran the screenwriting department of a national film school and the literature department of a major government arts agency. But she was once a confused and terrified little boy on an isolated farm in South Australia, who prayed to God to make him into a girl. Josie has lived and loved as a man and as a woman. This is the story of her voyage from his days working in desert mining and construction camps through to the struggles with her family and eventual reconciliation with her dying mother. It is the story of his loves and his marriage as a man, of fatherhood, and his passage through the barriers of gender and sex to the shock of discovering her need - as a woman - to be with a man. An account, as well, of personal spiritual discovery, The Real Possibility of Joy opens up the mystery of what it means to be human and captures the joy of living one s own, hard-won, personal truth.
