Arlina A. releases a thought-provoking new book, "A Letter to Pawtone," which delves into the protagonist's struggle with identity and the desire to start anew.

MONTEREY, Calif. - Californer -- "But the only man I knew did not know that I was a change and we were no longer sexually involved. I thought perhaps if I got away from the family and friends and all my co-workers, I could sort out my life and maybe begin to lead a new life elsewhere."

This passage from "A Letter to Pawtone" reveals the protagonist's internal conflict and the journey towards self-discovery.

Following her gender reassignment surgery, she was now reintegrated into the workplace where she found her coworkers not only accepted her, but applauded her courage in taking the steps she had to become the person she had always felt in her heart she wanted to be. Nevertheless, she was hungry for a different life.

Her relationships with men had been incomplete in different ways, and she longed to find one man that she could feel fulfilled with.
