An honest and poignant account of what it truly means to come out as transgender, to be a supportive parent, and to live as a member of the trans community, the perspectives shared by the authors create an emotional and thought-provoking narrative that is as heartfelt as it is educational.

With its eloquent writing and an open-hearted approach, this memoir explore the pain, confusion, and joy of transitioning and what it means for both the individual and their family.

An invaluable resource for parents, friends, allies, and anyone looking to understand the lived experiences of transgender people and the unique challenges they face, Between is a must-read that humanises a conversation that is too often steeped in misunderstanding.

Synopsis:

The lives of transgender people have evolved into a talking point in wider society. Many people have an opinion on trans issues, but few have informed that opinion by listening to the trans community. Between bridges this widening divide, sharing a deeply personal story of transition written by a mother and her transgender son.

Gemma and Leo Telford wrote their memoir with the aim of destigmatizing and humanizing transgender people and the issues they face. Their story provides an honest insight into what it’s really like to come out to your family, tell those in your inner circle, get help, grow up and live as a trans person, as well as what it feels like to parent a trans person.

Between beautifully illustrates the issues, pain, struggle and joy for trans people and their parents, and is a must-read for those in the same shoes, and those who want to be better friends and allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
