A Helena woman is expressing her true self in a brand new book. Roberta Zenker says her story is a personal tale of transformation.
"My earliest images did not involve gender at all as much as they involved emotion. I felt not as a boy feels, but as I believe a girl thinks and feels. Snails and puppy dog tails held little fascination for me. I much preferred sugar and spice and everything nice. Why couldn't people see that?" Zenker reads from her recently published book TransMontana.
Zenker says her journey as a transgender was a physical and spiritual one.
