Readers will come away with a new understanding of belonging.Jodie Patterson is the mother of five children, including her nine-year-old transgender son Penelope, the catalyst for the author's reexamination of identity within her own dynamic household--and the wider world. This inspiring and highly personal debut memoir is the first book to make clear the relationship between race and gender within civil rights by following the author's remarkable personal history. She revisits her extended families' African American experiences with racism and civil rights, and her own coming of age in the 1970s and 80s, and later on as a wife, mother, and activist. With a novelist's sense of artful structure and pacing, Jodie turns her lens on a range of subjects--from the women who raised her and provided strength and comfort, all the while standing outside the confines of what society perceived as "normal," to her own children, who acted as a vehicle for Jodie's own growth and her relationship with her family through understanding and acceptance. The result is an exquisite study in transformation, identity, courage, and love.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
