Description
This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel is a heart-stoppingly emotional novel about a family's secret and the ways it always is. When the youngest of five brothers reveals his desire to be a girl, his parents must navigate the complexities of love, acceptance, and transformation. As the family's secret begins to unravel, Laurie Frankel masterfully weaves together themes of revelations, fairy tales, and the unpredictable nature of childhood. With humour, complexity, and kindness, she explores the ways in which families grow, change, and sometimes struggle to keep up. A thought-provoking and topical novel, This Is How It Always Is is a touching and wonderful story about the power of love and acceptance.
