Chimera: A Shapeshifter's Journey

"An impressive and heartfelt collection of memories."

Kirkus Reviews

"Chimera: A Shapeshifter's Journey, Lisa Stathoplos' companion to her marvelous coming-of-age memoir Make Me, is also a knockout. Every pulsing moment of pain, anguish, uplift and joy is delivered and the result is stunning."

Suzanne Bachner- Award-Winning Playwright, The Good Adoptee and Circle

"In her gutsy new memoir Chimera, A Shapeshifter's Journey, Stathoplos pulls no punches as she captures in raw and eloquent detail the reality of depression and anxiety. Her first-hand accounts are gut-wrenching, yet we are left uplifted and inspired as her ultimate goal is understanding. Heart and soul, wit and warmth, ring out from every page. Chimera is a dynamic clarion call for compassion and it delivers the message triumphantly."
