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.
