Beyond Description

by Emily Tiffany Joy

No one will ever silence my creative voice again, even if there's no end of people who would gladly celebrate my death, just because I let my purple bird fly. Without shining my reason upon this bleak wasteland, I'd have no book to share, and our hateful world would have successfully murdered me. So I'll live Joyously even if that means my death, but I'll never die before my soul strikes back.

Reviews

[Gwynn Alkali · Rating 5 out of 5]

A powerful and emotional journey through the maxims and musings of author Emily T. Joy, inspired by her life and experiences as a transgender woman and creative mind. Empowering, inspirational, and witty, with a hint of understandably sardonic humor Emily's Beyond Description is a joy of a quick read.

Full disclosure- my review is biased because the author is a dear friend and I am so so proud of her. This book is immensely important. It is about living truth in a series of vignettes. There are some incredibly poignant, powerful, and thought-provoking lines in this book that I’ve highlighted and will return to again and again. I am glad and grateful that this book exists!
