For decades, Sheila Grace hid her true self behind the uniforms she wore. West Point regalia. Army garb. A doctor’s lab coat. Suits and ties. While the uniforms helped her present a socially acceptable persona to the world, they couldn’t turn her into the man she pretended to be. Her real life was calling her. She had to answer it—and live it. In A Calling from the Bones, Sheila weaves a tapestry of tales about gender identity, compassionate mentors, crucial realizations, and priceless experiences. For those of us who have trekked through a desert of conformity and complacency, her stories serve as a reminder that honoring one’s calling is the only way to quench the deep thirst of the soul.
