Discovery of Self at 56 Puts Lifetime of Struggle for Goldman Sachs PR Manager in Perspective
(Grass Valley, CA) – Sibylline Press is honored to announce the upcoming release of Maeve Rising: Coming Out Trans in Corporate America by Maeve DuVally.
In this intimate and unflinchingly honest memoir, Maeve recounts her sadistic pathologist father’s behavior during her childhood, her own alcoholism, failed marriages, and eventual triumph into sobriety. It was in that sobriety that she finally met her true self: Maeve. As a public face of the company, she knew she couldn’t transition quietly.
Initially she keeps her identity a secret with wardrobe changes in the lobby bathroom after work. When she finally declares herself, Goldman Sachs—to her surprise—embraces her. A New York Times story leads Maeve into her new life as a role model for other transgender people and gives her a purpose that had been lacking her entire life.
“This is Maeve DuVally’s heartbreaking, brave, and triumphant story of coming out as a transgender person not just in corporate America, but on Wall Street, and not just on Wall Street, but at Goldman Sachs. It would be important reading at any time, but in the times in which we live, it’s essential.” —Bethany McLean, co- author, The Smartest Guys in the Room
