Doll Parts: A Memoir

In every way possible, Amanda Lepore is a self-made woman. She was born Armand Lepore, and for as long as she can remember never, ever identified as anything but female. This is her story, told in her own unique way—direct and honest, sometimes raucous, retelling the pain she endured early on and later the triumphs. She is not the first transsexual woman, but in modern times, she has become one of the internationally best known.
