When Wren Came Out (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956109054)

How do you accept your child's authentic identity when it goes against everything you've always believed in?

Traditional Army wife, Theresa Churchill, spent years shuffling her family from post to post. She was relieved when her husband retired and they finally put down roots in a picket-fence and apple pie Minnesota town.

Theresa is thrilled to see her daughter, Wren, settling in and making friends, but, gradually, she begins to worry that Wren's feelings for her classmate go beyond friendship. An undeniable transformation is taking place that Theresa cannot ignore, forcing her to grapple with her own convictions and demanding that she navigate the widening divide between her conservative husband and queer child, threatening to tear her family apart piece by piece.

Theresa must embark on a journey from fear and confusion to unconditional love acceptance, to find the courage she needs to give her child the freedom to love everyone needs and deserves.
