TRANNY TALES - BOOK ONE

📖 ABOUT BOOK ONE:

Laying the foundation, Book One: Creating - Filial Piety is framed through the lens of an empty glass. It explores the author’s roots as a direct descendant of a modern-day slave. Uncovering buried truths about his mom and grandparents' lives under authoritarian rule in rural China, it reveals how systems of control shape identity, interpersonal relationships, and entire communities. Honoring his blessed ancestors, he embraces the sacred role of being a memory keeper. 

📖 ABOUT THE TRILOGY:

The Tranny Tales Trilogy is a narrative nonfiction memoir told in three books, each composed of five chapters titled with words beginning with the prefix "trans-" to reflect a full-circle journey through cycles of life, learning, love, and liberation with ancestral, inherited, and chosen family.

Spanning rural China, inner-city Minneapolis, and sunny San Diego, the trilogy unfolds across different social settings and systems to translate the fundamentals of being human through raw stories about housing, food, water, transportation, and even toilets.

Honoring the fight for freedom, The Tranny Tales Trilogy is radically personal yet universally relatable across time, space, and cultures. It invites readers to reflect on free will, free choice, freedoms, and the rights to exist freely.
