What We Will Become: A Mother, a Son, and a Journey of Transformation | 
Day 11 of #adventrecommends ... another favorite from 2019.
A beautiful account of a mother‘s journey to recognition of her transgender son. Lemay alternates the chapters between the growing awareness that her child is transgender with accounts of her own upbringing in an Orthodox Jewish faith where certain expectations were made on her to live a certain way to be a “proper woman.”

Who doesn‘t love early Saturday mornings when the spouse is still asleep and you can relax in front of the fire with a #NFNov book and a giant mug of tea? 🤷🏻♀️
#TIL: Jews believe that each soul is born as a pair, male and female, who are destined to meet up on earth to fulfill their shared purpose.

Saw a review of this one on WBUR and immediately downloaded it. Just released today. It‘s a mother‘s memoir of her transgender child‘s odyssey, and her own journey outside the boundaries of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish faith and culture that shaped her.
