“Psychiatrist Lisa Bellot shares an unflinching account of parenting a trans-identified teen while her instincts whispered, ‘something is not right here.’ Told with honesty and grace, this memoir blends personal experience with medical and psychological information parents desperately need but rarely receive. This book is a powerful and necessary read for anyone trying to make sense of today’s precarious youth gender landscape.”
