Boylan's insightful memoir chronicles her transition from James (who originally thought the love of the "right woman" would help him remain a man) to Jennifer, comother of two accepting sons. Boylan includes a section containing interviews with other writers about their families called "Time Outs," which help readers understand the variety of experiences of gender.
