TransMontana: A Memoir of Transformation in Body, Mind & Spirit

TRANSMONTANA is the story of Montana hunter and county attorney Robert Zenker's transition from a male, popularly elected public official to a modern, professional woman. Robert Zenker was a married man and father of two, boxed in the psychologically complicated, emotionally taut web of secrecy, shame, fear, guilt, doubt and ambiguity of self of a transsexual deeply in denial. Roberta inhabited that body and all the accoutrement of the life of a man in Montana for nearly fifty years before her transition from man to woman in 2007. The remarkable story of her emerging from her box is a complex, courageous and sometimes dangerous journey involving not only physical transition, but also alcohol recovery and the result of both - a spiritual transformation. Bobbie is now a beloved daughter and a supportive friend to many women. Gregory Hinton, creator and producer of Out West at the Autry, says about Transmontana; "Juxtaposed against the sparing, darkly beautiful, and plainspoken Montana landscape, Roberta Zenker's TransMontana is a powerfully wise, emotionally savory "must-read" memoir about spiritual growth and physical transformation.
