'A dark, gritty, and compulsive read' Daily Express
Nineteen-year-old Sally is battered and bruised, and lying in the
hospital once again. It's nothing new, it's happened before and
it'll happen again. But when DI Laura Kesey introduces Sally to a
new social worker, she finds hope at a local women's domestic
violence refuge, where she's surrounded by women just like her. But
then a man is mowed down in a hit and run. Soon a second suspicious
death follows. Both deaths link back to the refuge. Has Sally found
a safe place or a new danger? *Please note this is a re-release of
The Sisters*
One LGBTQ family's inspiring, heartfelt story of the many
alternative paths that lead to a loving family, with lessons for
every parent Trystan and Biff had been dating for just a year when
the couple learned that Biff's niece and nephew were about to be
removed from their home by Child Protective Services. Immediately,
Trystan and Biff took in one-year-old Hailey and three-year-old
Lucas, becoming caregivers overnight to two tiny survivors of abuse
and neglect. From this unexpected start, the young couple built a
loving marriage and happy home-learning to parent on the job. They
adopted Hailey and Lucas, tied the knot, and soon decided to try
for a baby that Trystan, who is transgender, would carry. Trystan's
groundbreaking pregnancy attracted media fanfare, and the family
welcomed baby Leo in 2017. In this inspiring memoir, Trystan shares
his unique story alongside universal lessons that will help all
parents through the trials of raising children. How We Do Family is
a refreshing new take on family life for the LGBTQ community and
beyond. Through every tough moment and touching memory, Trystan
shows that more important than getting things right is doing them
with love.
