Goddess: Memoir of a Transsexual

She became the iconic image of the perfect transsexual female. A stunningly beautiful face and body that exploded onto the world wide web at the turn of the millenium and inspired artists and photographers and provoked adulation and confusion in countless men AND women. Raquel Reyes' charismatic presence, jaw dropping beauty and bold sensuality are the stuff of legend... but it's her life, the one she chose and ultimately survived, that fuels this rich and entertaining read.Written with great style by Raquel herself, it is a vivid recreation of a life filled with pain and pleasure, glamour and heartache, self destruction and redemption. From Tampa where she was born to the clandestine brothels of Boston and New York to the mansions of Miami Beach and Los Angeles where she played with actors, rock stars and porn queens to the islands of Greece and cities across Europe and South America, it is a tale of beauty gone wild and Raquel's desperate search for something, anything, that mattered.It's the truth behind the beauty and it isn't all pretty. But it's exactly how it happened.Raquel Reyes is the author of 'Goddess: Memoir of a Transsexual', published 2007 under ISBN 9781419662508 and ISBN 1419662503.
