Amie Klempnauer Miller writes with honesty and tenderness about her relationship with her partner, Jane, their decision to have a baby, and the arrival and infancy of their daughter, Hannah. For me, this book was a lovely affirmation that families can come in all shapes and sizes, and the relationship between the three of them is beautifully depicted. Sometimes the writing can be a bit dry and overly analytical, but it really is a good read. Recommended not just for LGBT individuals and allies, but also for those who are looking to expand their understanding of what makes a family and be more open and accepting of loving, nontraditional families. Three and a half stars. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Ms. Klempnauer Miller is very honest about her journey into motherhood. After struggling with infertility, it is her partner who becomes pregnant (on the first try, no less), so she feels like something of an outsider. She discusses her fears (if she'll feel like a "second" or inferior mother, if she'll be able to love the child as if she had given birth to her, etc, etc) and her relationship woes (parenthood changes many things) with refreshing candor, giving voice to feelings and thoughts that I'm sure she's not alone in experiencing.
It's definitely an interesting read, and I would recommend this book. ( )
