Synopsis

It’s never too late to arrive at yourself.

For much of her life, Jamie DeCoursey felt as if she lived in a windowless house she’d built and decorated. Never seeing the light of day, it was a lonely, hidden existence. Then a question opened the door. And like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon, she spread her wings and began living her true life.

At seventy years, she spoke her truth. The body she was born with was an ill-fitting mask because in her soul, she knew she was a woman. DeCoursey’s late-life transition brings personal clarity and acceptance of her identity, along with the uncharted waters of navigating family and prior relationships.

With courage and quiet grace, Seventy Years Before She Spoke explores the decades-long cost of carrying, yet hiding, a self without a name.
