What is the cost of living an authentic life? Ellen Krug knows. “Getting to Ellen” details the “gender journey” taken by Ellen Krug, a woman born into a male body. As a man, “Ed” Krug had everything anyone could ever want: the love of a soul mate named Lydia, two beautiful daughters, a house in the most efficient neighborhood, a successful trial lawyer’s career–a Grand Plan life so picture-perfect it inspired a beautiful pastel drawing. In a quest to find inner peace, Ed gradually confronted fear and loss, including the residue of growing up in an alcoholic household and a parent’s suicide. As this page-turning story of self-discovery unfolds, the reader understands that for Ed to live authentically as Ellen, much of that picture-perfect life–including Lydia’s love–would wish to be sacrificed. How could anyone make that choice, pay that roughly price? Alternatively, how could anyone not? This is a lot more than one person’s story about some things lost and others gained. It’s a glimpse into the life choices that each one of us make–whether or not we’re transgender. This can be a perfect read for anyone dealing with a key personal decision or crisis or the question of whether to be true to one’s self. And too, this story details what it means to be transgender, and it’s going to help anyone wrestling with gender identity issues or loved ones trying to have in mind another’s “gender journey.” In short, “Getting to Ellen” is an unforgettable true story of love, honesty, and the rewards of living authentically.
