"A human life, fully lived, is at its core a journey of healing and transformation. Because she well knows how painful and lonely that journey can be - the path she travelled was rockier than most - Erin LeBlanc shares her unique story with unflinching honesty in the hope that: ""this memoir provides some degree of solace."" Stranger in the Mirror is both an illuminating crash course on Gender Dysphoria, and a powerful personal account of prevailing over doubt and suffering to surface, through courage and selfknowledge, into confidence and empowerment. Erin's story shows that neither genetics nor upbringing are life sentences, and that even with seven arrows through the heart, healing is always possible. It did bring me solace, and even a good measure of these most fleeting of feelings - hope and gratitude. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, President and Vice-Chancellor Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada A poignant, deeply insightful, and courageous memoir of the journey to self-acceptance. Through journal excerpts, and heart breaking anecdotes, Erin shares her vulnerability, her challenges, and, ultimately, her resilience. The reader is compelled to reflect on the impact and role of gender-and often assumed gender-in our relationships with others and with oneself. Erin's bravely candid and moving struggle to understand and accept her true identity should be required reading for anyone experiencing gender dysphoria or seeking to be a better ally. Stacy G. Kelly, Director, Philanthropy, The 519 Church Street Community Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada tremendous obstacles on her journey to becoming her authentic self. Her work as an advocate for the transgender community, particularly in respect of health care and access to legal and health services, is helping to ensure that others do not experience the same struggles. For her work in establishing transgender transitioning guidelines and identifying and removing barriers for individuals transitioning in the workplace, Erin was named a recipient of the Queen's University Tri-Award for the promotion of accessibility, equity, and human rights. A truly motivational speaker, her contributions are helping to make positive changes in our communities. Stranger in the Mirror is a great read for anyone in the LTGBTQ+ community, their families and allies, and those looking to better understand the strength required to be your authentic self. Teri Shearer, Deputy Provost, Academics and Inclusion Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada"
