From filmmaker, writer, producer, and actor Tommy Dorfman comes a beautifully written, bracingly original memoir, structured through the profound revelations of a single tarot card reading.

On a hot summer day, twenty-eight-year-old Tommy Dorfman was enjoying a beautiful outing on a boat. But inside she felt unmoored. After a lifetime of confusion, she’d finally gained clarity around her gender and had begun to transition. But there were still elements of her story that she needed to fully confront. She sought guidance in a tarot deck.

Maybe This Will Save Me, Dorfman’s spellbinding debut memoir, is structured through the cards of that tarot pull. The youngest of five children, she grappled with her identity from an early age and spent her teenage years numbed by drugs and alcohol. At the same time, she harboured dreams of creative stardom. Charting her rise to fame in 13 Reasons Why, her hard-fought journey to sobriety, and the relationships that shaped her, Dorfman’s luminously written, bracingly honest memoir reintroduces us to a writer with a dazzling sense of vision and craft.
