Produktbeschreibung

When Julie Tarney's only child Harry was two years old, he told her, "Inside my head I'm a girl.” It was 1992. Lacking a positive role model of her own, and fearful of the negative stereotype of an overbearing Jewish mother, Julie embarked on an unexpected parenting path as Harry grew up to be a confident and happily nonconformist adult. Despite some stumbles, Julie learned that her job was to let her child be his authentic self.
