Becoming Tamara:

My Story of Transition From Male to Female


Becoming isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about finding the strength to reveal what the world tried to hide.


In Becoming Tamara, author Tamara Rivera offers an unflinching and beautifully human look

at what it means to come into your own truth after surviving years of pain, confusion, and

societal rejection. This deeply personal memoir completes a trilogy of transformation,

chronicling not only what she endured—but who she became because of it.


Rivera brings readers into the most intimate spaces of her identity—spaces that were once

buried beneath fear, shame, and silence. Through her spiritual awakening, the forging of her

womanhood, and her relationship with God, Rivera reclaims what was always hers: the right to live, speak, and love as Tamara.


“A powerful and deeply personal memoir of transformation and courage—Becoming Tamara is an inspiring journey of self-discovery, faith, and resilience.


What makes this memoir so gripping is its fusion of brutal honesty and spiritual reflection. Rivera doesn’t sanitize her past—she honors it, acknowledging the struggle of navigating family trauma, internal battles, and the pain of not being accepted in her own skin. But at the heart of it all is grace. A grace that allows her not only to forgive others, but to embrace herself fully and without apology.


This is not just the story of a trans woman of faith—it is the story of anyone who has fought to be seen, known, and loved without condition. Rivera’s journey is deeply personal, yet universally resonant. Her words offer solace for the brokenhearted, courage to the unseen, and hope for those still searching for themselves.


Becoming Tamara is more than a memoir—it’s a testimony. It’s a radiant declaration that

healing is possible, and that transformation is not the end, but the beginning.

Because to become who you are is the bravest act of all.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...
