"This book is a gift. Whether you identify with Rhiannon's struggles or strengths, courage or perseverance, the wisdom she has learned and the joy she shares cannot help but inspire." - Gillian Anderson, "Scully" from "The X Files" I looked at him, standing there in my best lingerie. My husband, my mate, my companion of many years. He took my hands and with a small smile said, "I thought for a moment about lying to you, but the truth is, I have always wanted to be a girl." How To Climb Mount Everest in Sandals is the story of a life that has been anything but ordinary. Rhiannon has experienced more than enough for three lifetimes. This is one case where reality really is stranger than fiction. The raw and heart wrenching story of Rhiannon's life grabs you from the first paragraph and does not let you go. After losing everything, Rhiannon learns how to embrace the ordinary moments in life and realises how very extraordinary they can be, and inspires the reader to do the same.
