"A mother's memoir of her transgender child's odyssey, and her journey outside the boundaries of the faith and culture that shaped her"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
From the age of two-and-a-half "Em" adamantly told his family he was a boy. While his mother Mimi struggled to understand and come to terms with the fact that her child may be transgender, the journey to uncover the source of her child's inner turmoil unearthed ghosts from Mimi's past and her own struggle to live an authentic life. Raised in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, her role as a woman largely preordained from cradle to grave, Mimi eventually made the painful decision to leave her religious community and the strict gender roles it upheld. Helping her son-- renamed Jacob-- Mimi explains how painful events from the past can be redeemed to give us hope for the future. -- adapted from jacket
