In a riveting record from personal journals, Finding My Feminine shares the story of Beth Dunn’s soul: a female Baby Boomer raised Catholic in America who failed at romance with her boyfriend and instead found herself trying to experience love with a girlfriend. Driven by the basic need for love, but thwarted by her inability to draw close enough to either gender to satisfy her longing, Beth finally let God work on her behalf. This book shows how each of Beth’s halting steps brought her increased integration as she confessed her weaknesses, forgave those who wounded her, lived chastely, and most of all, received the Father’s love as His daughter—both beautiful and feminine.
Inside the pages of this book, Beth writes:
Despite the fact that I never yielded my body to unnatural sexual relations with women, I needed to reckon with both same sex attraction and gender confusion. To become a victor in life I had to become my authentic self: the female God made me to be. Ideally, the culture, the community, and the Church should support people who want to be similarly victorious.
The culmination of my search to find my true feminine is to be free enough to express my heart with all the love in it. . . .
I am a work in progress and always will be, but with a heart of flesh I am now liberated to share love with others. In the end I am . . . truly feminine.

There’s a key to chastity that I didn’t know at this stage in my life: chastity unlocks power to integrate the people who practice it. – Beth Dunn
“The chaste person maintains the integrity of the powers of life and love placed in him. This integrity ensures the unity of the person; it is opposed to any behavior that would impair it.” (CCC, 2338)
