From Chastity to Chaz: Sonny and Cher's Child On His Sex-Change Operation

For Chastity Bono, being Sonny and Cher's only child meant living in the public eye. She made a heralded debut as an adorable, blonde-curled 2-year-old on her parents' TV show in the 1970s; her dramatic coming out as a lesbian in the 1990s and subsequent gay activism pulled her further into the spotlight. But the latest development in this Hollywood daughter's life is sure to grab more attention than anything that preceded it. Chastity, 42, has become Chaz. His new book, Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man (Dutton) gives the sometimes shocking details of a very unexpected life.
