National Jewish Book Award Finalist for MemoirProfessor Jay Ladin made headlines around the world when, after years of teaching literature at Yeshiva University, he returned to the Orthodox Jewish campus as a womanJoy Ladin. In Through the Door of Life, Joy Ladin takes readers inside her transition as she changed genders and, in the process, created a new self.With unsparing honesty and surprising humor, Ladin wrestles with both the practical problems of gender transition and the larger moral, spiritual, and philosophical questions that arise. Ladin recounts her struggle to reconcile the pain she experienced living as the wrong gender with the pain of her children in losing the father they love. We eavesdrop on her lifelong conversations with the God whom she sees both as the source of her agony and as her hope for transcending it. We look over her shoulder as she learns to walk and talk as a woman after fortyplus years of walking and talking as a man. We stare with her into the mirror as she asks herself how the new self she is creating will ever become real.Ladins poignant memoir takes us from the death of living as the man she knew she wasnt, to the shattering of family and career that accompanied her transition, to the new self, relationships, and love she finds when she opens the door of life.
