They married in 1983; five years later, Steve came out to her as transgender. Through the following decades, as her spouse developed a public persona as Venus de Mars and fronted the band All the Pretty Horses, the couple struggled to stay together. They navigated an often hostile, anti-trans environment; fractures grew between them as Venus pushed the band toward success. Against the backdrop of the art, literary, and indie rock worlds of Minneapolis and New York in the 1990s and early 2000s, through hard work and love, they invented a way of being who they truly are.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWild Things\u003c\/i\u003e, Lynette Reini-Grandell shares a deeply personal story of love and growth.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47545279414525,"sku":"9781681342436","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/VjZOQmk1Wll3U1NIRGlwNmFpNXFrZz09.webp?v=1779025987","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/wild-things-a-trans-glam-punk-rock-love-story-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
