Jessica Angelina Birch is her pen name, but she's known to her patients as Dr. Jennifer Madden, and she has been practicing medicine in Amherst under that name for five years.
But for a long time Jennifer was known as Henry, and that is what the book is about: A monumental change that allowed someone who always believed she was a woman to actually become one.
The book, "Confessions of a Transsexual Physician," is her story, one she believes portrays a realistic view of the metamorphosis that took place in her.
