Reviews

"Amazingly, Garner makes palatable the idea that our families are different and our kids do struggle but, perhaps, not in the ways we might think they do…[she] invites courageous gay parents to read the book and get an insider’s look at what it’s like to grow up with GLBT parents."
—OutSmart Magazine

"Simply learning about the breadth of gay families is valuable to educators, parents, children and queer people, to create a wider vision of exactly who our far-flung community embraces. …Garner’s book doesn’t present a simple, easy answer, but then again, whose family is simple and easy? "
—New York Blade

"Compellingly written…this should quickly become a mainstay resource for many family service agencies and public libraries serving LGBT patrons."
—Booklist, American Library Association
