AUTHENTIC SELVES

Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families

An illuminating volume of interviews and portraits from Skinner House Books, in collaboration with Family Diversity Projects, PFLAG National, and the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund. Foreword by Jazz and Jeanette Jennings and Preface by Brian Bond, Ex. Director: PFLAG National.

LOVE MAKES A FAMILY

Portraits of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Parents and Their Families

“Through sensitive photos and plainspoken autobiographical sketches, (the book) outlines the challenges that nontraditional families face and how, as Minnie Bruce Pratt writes in her foreword, their members are the ‘heart of each others’ heart.”

- Publisher’s Weekly

Of Many Colors

Portraits of Multiracial Families

“I was very moved by this book … it is effective both because it is important scholarship and because it contains such profoundly moving human stories. By letting the members of these families speak for themselves, the author and photographer capture the diversity of their experiences. I especially like the fact that even the children are allowed to speak their mind; after all it is they who are often the undeserving recipients of bigotry.”

- Sonia Nieto, Author of Affirming Diversity


Nothing to Hide

Mental Illness in the Family

“The photographs and interviews give a dignity and humanity to patients and their families, as well as providing a real sense of the day-to-day difficulties of living with mental illness. This book is both wonderful and important.”

- Kay Redfield Jamison Ph.D., author of The Unquiet Mind

“This wonderful book will touch the heart of anyone who has been close to mental illness. It is a book that everyone should read.”

- Lesley Stahl, co-editor 60 Minutes
