Description
Jen Brister's memoir offers a refreshingly honest look at parenting life as a gay woman. After her partner gave birth to twins, she found herself navigating unfamiliar territory with no clear guidance. This humorous and poignant account shares the author's experiences with IVF, sleep training manuals, and the emotional highs and lows of same-sex parenting. With unflinching candour, Brister recounts the challenges she faced and the moments that made her question whether she was doing enough as a parent. Her story is both deeply personal and universally relatable, making it an essential read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit the mould of traditional family life. A longlisted Polari Prize contender, this book is a side-splittingly honest look at the realities of same-sex parenting, brimming with rich and wonderful proof that will resonate with readers.
