About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the complexities of non-traditional family structures or the pain of a high-conflict separation where legal rights don't match emotional bonds. It is an essential resource for children who feel caught in the middle of adult disputes or who are questioning their own identity in the shadow of their parents choices. The story follows Nick as his two mothers separate, exposing the heartbreaking reality that his primary bond is with the mother who has no legal standing. It explores themes of deep depression, the definition of a real parent, and the fight for emotional justice. While the subject matter is heavy, it provides a vital mirror for children in LGBTQ+ families and offers a hopeful resolution where a child's voice is finally heard and respected. It is most appropriate for mature middle schoolers and high schoolers due to themes of infidelity and emotional distress.
