This Life 1976-1999 - The Diaries of Yasimi Quaife

Yasimi Quaife Trust, 2007. Good secondhand condition.

Yasimi Quaife was known as Kane Alves for the first years of her short life. She was born a boy, but lived as a woman from the age of 17. Suffering from the aftermath of secual abuse when she was very young and the constant stresses of life as a transsexual, she committed suicide at the age of 23.

For many years she kept a diary. She destroyed the early volumes, but those covering her last five years remain, and form the basis of this book.
