spiritual journey, from my earliest attempts to

acceptance of my transsexualism, to practical
spiritual advice for handling our treatment by
our families, friends, and churches.Two essays a year, as long as the Lord puts
ideas into my head!"Grace and Lace" is the title of the Christian
newsletter published from 1990 to 2000 by
my dear friend and sister in Christ
Lee Frances Heller (1920-2000).
I continue the name to honor her memory.
