desertcart.com: Stuck in the Middle with You: A Memoir of Parenting in Three Genders: 9780767921770: Boylan, Jennifer Finney, Quindlen, Anna: Books

Review: Wonderful book. - As the parent of a transgender adult, this was the first book I read after my daughter came out to our family. It is beautifully written, thoughtful, informative, funny, and comforting, and was a tremendous help at a time when I was trying to understand my daughter's struggles, as well as deal with my own. It made me feel that a world that had just been turned upside down for me would be righted in whatever the new "right" would be. I have given the book to friends so that they can better understand what it means to be born transgender. The entire experience has made me really think about something that I always knew: I love my children no matter who they are and how they express themselves. Especially, in this case, where my child has struggled so deeply and has anguished so much just wanting to be who she was born to be. Thank you Jennifer!
Review: Not just a rehash - great new insights - I really enjoyed this book. I've read her other two (post-transition) and then her novel written as James Boylan. So I am definitely a big fan of this author. I did not see this book as simply a re-hash of "She's Not There" or "I'm Looking though You." I thought "Stuck in the Middle" offered some interesting insights that only time and perspective can offer. Also, the interviews are a great addition to the memoir style. Very insightful and just fun to read. I may be biased as I teach college-level gender and family communication, but definitely worth the read if you are interested in how transitions affect families or in how all families experience feeling different.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book.
*by J***. on December 3, 2014*

As the parent of a transgender adult, this was the first book I read after my daughter came out to our family. It is beautifully written, thoughtful, informative, funny, and comforting, and was a tremendous help at a time when I was trying to understand my daughter's struggles, as well as deal with my own. It made me feel that a world that had just been turned upside down for me would be righted in whatever the new "right" would be. I have given the book to friends so that they can better understand what it means to be born transgender.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not just a rehash - great new insights
*by R***S on September 8, 2015*

I really enjoyed this book. I've read her other two (post-transition) and then her novel written as James Boylan. So I am definitely a big fan of this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Memoir from Jennifer Finney Boylan
*by S***N on July 1, 2013*

This is a sequel to "She's Not There", and to me not as good because it covers ground covered in the previous book. Still, Ms. Boylan is a great writer and can make anything sound fascinating. The main thing that sticks with me from this memoir...is how, after she became a woman, she kept being kicked out of bands she joined. As a man, even a middle aged man, as a rocker in a band, a talented musician, Jimmy got a lot of satisfaction and joy from playing in a band. As a middle aged woman...well, in our society, middle aged women are just not cool, especially in a rock band. Welcome to life over here, Jennifer. I wondered whether life as a woman was all Ms. Boylan dreamed it would be. I would ask her questions if I could. Still, her life is good in many ways...as a college English professor...as the parent of exemplary, talented, intelligent children...in a caring, devoted marriage that has weathered storms that would wreck most marriages. Ms. Boylan is so likable, so good natured, explains things so well, it was a pleasure to spend time in her company, in the form of reading another memoir, once again.
