Summary of Alexandra Billings's This Time for Me
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am not a liar, but I have a hard time admitting and living in the truth. I prefer the world I create to the world I inhabit. If I don’t like the way the story’s going, I simply change it. #2 I knew my life was half planned and mostly dreamed, because my mother spent an extraordinary amount of time making things pretty. I was always aware of how I differed from my mother and grandmother, who were both perfectionists. #3 I learned to do whatever I had to do to remain afloat as the family outcast. I was ten years old when I was told directly by the person I loved the most that what I was doing was not to be seen. #4 I had to make a choice: I could either keep going or stop. I decided to keep going, and I began to lie.
This Time for Me
An emotional, funny, and fabulous memoir by trailblazing and award-winning Trans actor and activist Alexandra Billings. Born in 1962, Alexandra Billings grew up in a decade in which being herself was illegal. When she started transitioning in 1980, the word "Transgender" didn't exist. With no Trans role models and no path to follow, Alexandra did what her family, teachers, and even friends said was impossible: Alexandra forged ahead. Spanning five decades, from profound lows to exhilarating highs, This Time for Me captures the events of a pioneering life. An award-winning actor and history-making LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS activist, Alexandra shares not only her own ever-evolving story but also the parallel ways in which queer identity has dramatically changed since the Stonewall riots of 1969. She weaves a true coming-of-age story of richly imaginative lies, of friends being swept away by a plague that decimated the community, of her determination to establish a career that would break boundaries, and of the recognition of her own power. A celebration of endless possibilities, Alexandra's bracing memoir is a fight-to-the-death revolution against all expectations.

Billings Better Bookstore & Brasserie
Young Fidelia Knight arrives in Melbourne in 1874, alone except for her treasured companion, Samuel Johnson; well, half of him. To escape servitude, Fidelia hides each night in Bourke-street's renowned Coles Book Arcade. She loves words, you see, and wants to know them all. What she overhears in Coles sets her on a path that will change the lives of everyone she meets, starting with Jasper Godwin, the hopelessly underqualified manager of the new Billings Better Bookstore. Fidelia's thirst for knowledge is contagious. She tutors two orphan boys and two illiterate women, inspiring them to unlock their creativity; and her exploration of colonial Melbourne takes her to some unusual places. Nothing daunts this diminutive genius, except the mystery of what really happened to her parents on the voyage from England.
