520    "All Amanda Jetté Knox ever wanted was to enjoy a stable 
       life. She never knew her biological father, and while her 
       mother and stepfather were loving parents, the situation 
       was sometimes chaotic. At school, she was bullied 
       mercilessly, and at the age of fourteen, she entered a 
       counselling program for alcohol addiction and was 
       successful. While still a teenager, she met the love of 
       her life. They were wed at 20, and the first of three 
       children followed shortly. Jetté Knox finally had the 
       stability she craved--or so it seemed. Their middle child 
       struggled with depression and avoided school. The author 
       was unprepared when the child she knew as her son came out
       as transgender at the age of eleven. Shocked, but knowing 
       how important it was to support her daughter, Jetté Knox 
       became an ardent advocate for trans rights. But the story 
       wasn't over. For many years, the author had coped with her
       spouse's moodiness, but that chronic unhappiness was 
       taking a toll on their marriage. A little over a year 
       after their child came out, her partner also came out as 
       transgender. Knowing better than most what would lie ahead,
       Jetté Knox searched for positive examples of marriages 
       surviving transition. When she found no role models, she 
       determined that her family would become one. The shift was
       challenging, but slowly the family members noticed that 
       they were becoming happier and more united. Told with 
       remarkable candour and humour, and full of insight into 
       the challenges faced by trans people, Love Lives Here is a
       beautiful story of transition, frustration, support, 
       acceptance, and, of course, love."--|cProvided by
