I'm Still Here: A Memoir

Description

In 1969, at age twenty, Martina moves to San Francisco. She lives in a
commune, marries her hippie streetcar driver, and moves away from the
city--first to Mendocino County, Oregon, and then to the Virgin Islands.
In 1980, Martina comes out. She finds her life partner, Tanya, at work,
and in 1986 they have a son, Cooper.

In 2008, Martina is diagnosed with serious tongue cancer. Her journey in
the aftermath of this diagnosis is one of hope, fear, family,
friendship, perseverance, and learning to live with a terminal
diagnosis.

Reaves braids these strands of her life together in I'm Still Here, presenting readers with a nuanced, poignant exploration of what it means to live--and love--authentically.
