More Details

Summary:

"When university biologist Anne Marbot learns that the 19-year-old she raised as "Lucie" is a transgender man named Alex, she's overwhelmed by questions. How can this be? Who put these ideas in your head? What if you regret it? Am I overreacting? How will your grandparents react? Why didn't I see it coming? Why is this so easy for others? Am I a bigot? What does gender really mean, anyway? How can I be the parent my child needs? It soon becomes clear that Alex is not the only one embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The road is not easy, and sometimes their relationship is bitterly strained. But Alex is sure of himself, and Anne is determined to be strong for his sake. With time, she too will be transformed, rediscovering her identity as a mother in profound new ways"-- [Publisher's description]

General Notes:

Originally published in French under the title, "Transitions: Journal d'Anne Marbot".
"Author's note: This story began when I met Anne Marbot and, later, her family. For three years, we traded readings, shared our feelings, and walked a bit of the same path together. From that exchange was born this graphic 'diary.' Between fiction and reality, the line is blurred. The letter that appears from page 161 to page 166 was written entirely by Alex, who joined us on this adventure. All the family names used in this story, including Anne Marbot's, are fictional"--Page 4.
