"New York Times" bestselling author Jennifer Finney Boylan returns
with a remarkable memoir about gender and parenting that discusses
how families are shaped and the difficulties and wonders of being
human.
A father for six years, a mother for ten, and for a time in
between, neither, or both, Jennifer Finney Boylan has seen
parenthood from both sides of the gender divide. When her two
children were young, Boylan came out as transgender, and as Jenny
transitioned from a man to a woman and from a father to a mother,
her family faced unique challenges and questions. In this
thoughtful, tear-jerking, hilarious memoir, Jenny asks what it
means to be a father, or a mother, and to what extent gender shades
our experiences as parents.
Through both her own story and incredibly insightful interviews
with others, including Richard Russo, Edward Albee, Ann Beattie,
Augusten Burroughs, Susan Minot, Trey Ellis, Timothy Kreider, and
more, Jenny examines relationships between fathers, mothers, and
children; people's memories of the children they were and the
parents they became; and the many different ways a family can be.
With an Afterword by Anna Quindlen, "Stuck in the Middle with You"
is a brilliant meditation on raising--and on being--a child.
