Description

Journeys can take many forms. They do not necessarily have to involve planes, ships or camels. Richard Phillips journey to find himself, begins with the breakup of his marriage and being seduced by his male therapist. Like most people on a journey, Richard does his best to see the sights and taste all the local cuisine, yet he is willing to explore back alleys and takes unintentionally risks to find what he is looking for...himself.We follow Richard over a fifteen year period as he explores his sexuality and gender identity while living in San Francisco's Castro district during the 1980s. At that time, the Castro was the candy store of human sexuality and while living there, Richard comes to understand that he must try living as a woman in order to express the person he truly is. Not long after he starts living as a woman that he joins San Francisco Patrol Special Police working as a woman police officer. It is through this typically male job, that Richard, now Rachelle must explore the woman she thinks she is. Through all of her changes she finds discrimination and prejudice at every corner, and with every relationship. Yet, year after year she perseveres until she, her family and friends and ultimately the world around her, are able to come to terms with her choice of lifestyle.Through Rachelle's eyes we also fall in love with the city that shelters and supports her transition from man to woman. This is as much a story about San Francisco, as it is Rachelle Phillips. The City plays just as important part in her life as any lover does. Through her, we learn the seldom told story of San Francisco's murderous history and its dirty little secrets. You can not tell Rachelle's story without telling San Francisco's.This is no ordinary coming out story. It is a moving and powerful study of human sexuality, gender identity and a passion for living. Unlike Virginia Woolf's Orlando, 56 Sanchez does not glamorize the transition from one sex to another. It is a raw, unadulterated view of sex, drugs and violence that so many people encountered living in The City during the 1980s. It is not always a pleasant journey. Not all roads lead to Disneyland or a warm sandy beach. She stumbles often, and at the worse possible times. Yet through it all, we get to know a person worthy of the title "Explorer"This is a story you can sink your teeth into. It will amuse and amaze you to read what it was like living in the world's largest gay Mecca at the height of its glory days.
