THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

In this remarkable memoir, written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger during her pivotal first years of rebirth, Caitlyn Jenner reflects on her past as she looks to her future.

With poignancy and humour, Caitlyn writes about her confusion growing up, the temporary triumph of the Olympics as Bruce Jenner, and the noose of being endlessly described as the ultimate in manhood. She reveals her sense of shame and deceit she felt as she got older, as she went to great lengths to tell lies to conceal her true self.

She also delves into her life in the public eye; her marriages and her troubled relationships with her children; what led to her decision to become Caitlyn, and how the transgender community and the world have embraced her new life. Written with a searing honesty, The Secrets of My Life shows you the real and true Caitlyn.
