A Path Less Traveled is a thought-provoking true story that transitions beautifully between Jenny Jae Cory's personal journey and some of the larger societal issues that face the transgender community today. This book shares it all in the hopes of making a difference in what seems like a harsh and cruel world for transgender people. It is a very courageous account of someone trying to live an honest and true life, whatever the consequences.
The book follows Jenny, from a shy boy who didn't like to talk to an awkward teenager to a career in retail, a brief encounter with politics, and a destructive Facebook post. She takes one path after another, trying to find her true self and establish a good reputation, only to tear it all back down. Jenny realized that being transgender had the ability to destroy relationships with family, friends, career, and literally force her to rebuild a new life all over. She knew making so many hard decisions would change her life like never before, turn everything inside out, and nothing would ever be the same.
The one thing that remains the same is that Jenny is the same person on the inside that she has always been, the same person who spent twenty-six years with the same company, trying to make something of herself and keep the local Ben Franklin Store open in her hometown for generations to come. The same person who gave others a chance to prove themselves, even hiring a convicted felon once to give her a chance to turn her life around. Jenny is the same person who loved someone who would continue to hurt her over and over again, and the same person who even though her family thinks she doesn't love them, does with all her heart.
