George, Butchie, Georgie and Gigi -- all the same person but all so different. George was a boy who realized he was a girl when he was a child. He never hid this but didn't flaunt it either. He fully lived his life all the time planning to become a woman accomplishing this dream in his mid-sixties and fully becoming Gigi.  This is a true transition story full of triumphs and trials, joy and tears. We know you will enjoy meeting and getting to know Gigi Conboy Rosselli.

Ex-Catholic Nuns Speak Out about Sexual Repression, Abuse & Ultimate Liberation. Originally this book was written as a dissertation in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Dr. Fisher's Ph.D. in Human Sexuality. Being a former Catholic nun herself, Dr. Fisher has a unique perspective on the subject. This is the first time anyone has studied the sexual development in the life transitions of women who had previously been Roman Catholic nuns.
