| Summary |
"A poignant narrative of one mom's struggle to support her transgender daughter-showing how any parent can forge a deeper bond with their child by truly listening"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
Friends and family, experts, and Mack herself had long downplayed her "son's" requests for pretty dresses and long hair as a phase. When three-year-old little "M" begs, weeping, to be reborn, Mack knows she has to start listening to her kid. This is an unflinching memoir of M's coming out-- to her father, grandparents, classmates, and the world. Fearful of the prejudice that menaces M's future, Mack finds her liberal values surprisingly challenged, and comes to realize it's really the world that has a lot to learn-- from her sparkly, spectacular M. -- adapted from back cover |
