SUMMARY:Riverbend Reads: This Is How It Always Is
DESCRIPTION:Dinner and Book Discussion with author\, Laurie Frankel\nFunds raised from this event will support Riverbend’s Childrens Program \nIn recent years we’ve seen an increasing number of memoirs from transgender individuals and from parents forging uncharted waters in order to help their transgender children live happy\, healthy lives in a society that still largely defines gender by what’s in your pants. \nIn her novel This is How It Always Is Laurie Frankel takes those real-life experiences and puts them into a big-hearted story of family and secrets. Penn and Rosie are a close\, loving couple\, living in Madison\, Wisconsin with their five boys. But it becomes evident before long that their youngest\, Claude\, feels like he should have been born a girl. So how do these strong\, supportive parents go about helping their son live as the person he wants to be? It’s a fascinating thing to behold. The nuances and unforeseen pitfalls of trying to protect your child from fear and hate while nurturing a sense of acceptance is daunting. What is private and what is a secret\, and what is\, really\, nobody’s business? Sometimes secrets have a way of materializing in the blink of an eye or the span of an innocuous question\, and this novel is about the lengths we will go\, as parents and siblings\, to protect each other. \n
