AT THE BROKEN PLACES - A MOTHER AND TRANS SON PICK UP THE PIECES

As a parent, Mary Collins didn’t agree with her trans son’s decision to physically alter his body, although she supported his right to realize himself as a person. Raw and uncensored, each explains her or his emotional mindset at the time: Mary felt she had lost a daughter; Donald activated his 'authentic self.' Both battled to assert their rights. A powerful memoir and resource, At the Broken Places offers a road map for families in transition.
