Publisher's Summary

My child is transgender. He was once a she.

When He Was Anna: A Mom's Journey into the Transgender World is a mother's brutally honest story of the stress and confusion that consumed her family in the early years of her child's transition from female to male.

Raising children is not for the faint of heart. Children are challenges. Having a transgender child is no exception to that; it is, in fact, quite a unique challenge.

When He Was Anna: A Mom's Journey into the Transgender World was written with the goal of helping all parents (not only those with transgender children) see that they aren't alone as they struggle to navigate the parenting journey and recover from mistakes made along the way. 

In the end, there is one certainty - the struggle is real; so is the love.
