Parenting In Three Genders

http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2013/06/12/parenting-three-genders

When Colby College English professor Jennifer Finney Boylan transitioned from male to female a little over ten years ago, she remained married to her wife Deirdre, and the couple continued to raise their two sons.

Boylan's new memoir "Stuck in the Middle With You: A Memoir of Parenting in Three Genders" (excerpt below) not only recounts stories of that last decade, it includes conversations with fellow writers Richard Russo, Edward Albee and Ann Beattie — or as Boylan puts it, "moms, dads and former children."
"I was always the one who had to teach them how to throw a football anyway."
–Deirdre Boylan

The result is an in-depth look at the nature of parenting.
