Most people know Thomas Beatie as the transgender "pregnant man" from Bend, Ore., which was splashed over Web sites and news networks last spring. After giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Beatie published an autobiography about his lifelong pursuit of a happy, nurturing family.

Labor of Love: The Story of One Man's Extraordinary Pregnancy begins with Beatie just about to give birth. Then it flashes back to when he was a little girl in Hawaii growing up with a loving mother and an abusive father. Chronologically, Beatie describes some of the most emotionally-charged moments of his childhood, his life as a young woman, meeting his wife Nancy and his decision to transition from female to male.
