Book Description
An abandoned mansion in Scotland; revelations about her stepfather's past life; an enigmatic handsome neighbour. These are the essential ingredients of Laura's Hidden Legacy - The Mansion. Laura Walter is a contented London art student living a privileged life and on the point of graduating university when tragedy strikes: her parents die in a car crash. As part of her legacy, Laura discovers she has inherited an estate in Scotland in the middle of a forest; an estate about which she had no prior knowledge. Laura's journey takes her to Scotland to see both the property and the village situated just a few miles away, as well as the man living down the road who had been keeping an eye on it for her stepfather. While staying there, she comes across a number of art works that appear to have been painted by famous artists. In addition to the paintings, she finds a journal written by her stepfather dating back to 1940. At first, her life at the mansion and the life of her stepfather as expressed in his journal are wonderful. However, she soon discovers a number of disturbing truths about her stepfather and his abusive behaviour towards women. In addition, she discovers his involvement with a Masonic Order and his role during World War Two, including what lay behind the paintings. The more she uncovers about the house and her stepfather's past life, the greater the danger that surrounds her. As the story races towards its climax, Laura discovers the true, sinister history behind the mansion, as well as the family who inhabited it for generations, all of which could have altered the outcome of World War Two.

"So while the assumption when I was born was that I was or would grow up to be a neurotypical heterosexual boy, that whole idea didn't really pan out long term." In this candid, first-of-its-kind memoir, Laura Kate Dale recounts what life is like growing up as a gay trans woman on the autism spectrum. From struggling with sensory processing, managing socially demanding situations and learning social cues and feminine presentation, through to coming out as trans during an autistic meltdown, Laura draws on her personal experiences from life prior to transition and diagnosis, and moving on to the years of self-discovery, to give a unique insight into the nuances of sexuality, gender and autism, and how they intersect. Charting the ups and downs of being autistic and on the LGBT spectrum with searing honesty and humour, this is an empowering, life-affirming read for anyone who's felt they don't fit in.
