No Ordinary Life

Without question, Sara-Jane Cromwell is an exceptional woman and author, and it’s no wonder given her extraordinary journey to be the woman she is today and the difference she has made to Ireland along the way. Sara-Jane’s story is truly remarkable in so many ways due in no small part to the abuses she endured and the multiple challenges she has had to overcome; making her life and achievements all the more astounding.


No Ordinary Life is a book that will make you cry, then laugh, then cry and laugh again. People who have read Sara-Jane’s story are astounded by the imaginative ways she found to survive, overcome and thrive through the kinds of challenges that would have floored many others; and yet there is not a hint of her feeling like a victim. And even when she was at her lowest and most hopeless, she still found ways to get back up and start again.


Sara-Jane has been described as one of Ireland’s best kept secrets. This is because very few people know of her work over the past decade and a half (and continues today), and how she has brought about a positive change in people’s understanding and attitudes towards transgender issues and gender dysphoria in particular.
