Transitions of the Heart is the first collection to ever invite mothers of transgender and gender variant children of all ages to tell their own stories about their child’s gender transition. Often transitioning socially and emotionally alongside their child but rarely given a voice in the experience, mothers hold the key to familial and societal understanding of gender difference. Sharing stories of love, struggle, and acceptance, this collection of mother's voices, representing a diversity of backgrounds and sexual orientations, affirms the experience of those who have raised and are currently raising transgender and gender variant children between the ages of five and fifty.
Edited by Rachel Pepper, a gender specialist and co-author of the acclaimed book The Transgender Child, Transitions of the Heart will prove an invaluable resource for parents coming to terms with a child’s gender variance or transition.

These mothers come from all backgrounds, demographics, married, single, straight, gay, religious, non-religious— and all of them had to find their own path on the "transgender odyssey" that their child was on. Their experiences are unexpected and different. The common thread is love for their children, and wanting the best for them.
Heartfelt, Well-Written, and Moving

I will tell you with honesty that somebody I love has recently come out to me as female to male transgender. I love this person. I am confused and struggling. But my love is paramount and so my desire is to better understand, to lose the confusion, to stop struggling and to love him even more than I loved her. He needs me more now than ever and I plan to be accessible and loving. Rachel Pepper said this: "These mothers have learned how to advocate for their children and themselves. By speaking out here, they are blazing a brave trail for others to follow." I plan to follow that brave trail.
These stories are important and helpful.
