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 New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

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...

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...
