"My husband wanted to be a girl!"

Imagine discovering the love of your life, the father of your three children, the person you devoted your life to and moved halfway across the world to be with, was living a deeply concealed lie.

Late one night, without warning, Anne's husband of ten years delivers the news: "I have gender dysphoria."

Her world shifts in an instant. How could she not know? How could she be so completely oblivious?

What does this even mean?

Anne begins examining, researching and recording events in an effort to retain some sanity. These events triggle a powerful and intimate memoir. With clarity, empathy and candour, She Said She Said provides the rarely heard voice of the partner of someone going through gender transition.

Humour, goodwill and a great deal of personal courage are required - and that was just to get through the first Mother's Day!
