Overview

In the autumn of 2018 I took a transgender boy I had met only once out to lunch, anticipating becoming an adult friend and mentor to him as he worked his way through college and his transition. I ended up being his mother. I didn't anticipate going to lunch and getting another child, but both Jayce and I are the sorts of people To Whom Things Happen, and so here we are. We often say we were meant to be together as mother and son; we are eerily alike. This is the story of our first year together as a family. We try to approach serious topics - mental health issues, gender related healthcare, college concerns, dating, siblings, and so forth - with humor and candor. We explore the integration of an unexpected addition into a family from both points of view and we look at how being transgender colors everything Jayce does, like a gel over a theater light. It is a story of unconditional love under extraordinary circumstances.

Reviews

Kelly and Jayce Price have written a fantastic, authentic book on a timely subject: the day-to-day challenges and joys of being - and raising! - a transgender son. Told with wit, painful honesty, and alternating perspectives, Somewhere Under the Rainbow will offer guidance to parents raising trans children while striking a responsive chord with those who are in the process of transitioning. -Carrie Goldman, author of Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear The story you are about to read is life changing. Let it sink into your heart. Let it change you. This story is about courage and agape love, blended with humor. Read it twice. -Laci Marie Basel, Laci Speak & Sing
