This took me a while to get through, not because it‘s not well-written (it is), or compelling (it is) or important (definitely is), but because the essays, almost all of them, challenged me in some way, challenged my beliefs or assumptions or subconscious. So I read one every few days, let that one settle, and read the next. Mehra‘s family is utterly unique but still so deeply relatable, and her words are grounded in love. Really great read.

Tamra Sounds great! 5y

I liked this essay collection on race, gender, sexuality, and religion. The author is of Indian descent, and a queer woman married to a white woman. The two of them adopted an African-American child who is—at least for now at about 5yo—gender-noncomforming. The author has lots of important things to say about her experiences navigating all these identities. Out in early February.
