In this collaborative memoir, a parent and a transgender son recount wrestling with their differences as Donald Collins undertook medical-treatment options to better align his body with his gender identity.
As a parent, Mary Collins didnât agree with her trans sonâs decision to physically alter his body, although she supported his right to realize himself as a person. Raw and uncensored, each explains her or his emotional mindset at the time: Mary felt she had lost a daughter; Donald activated his âauthentic self.â Both battled to assert their rights. A powerful memoir and resource, At the Broken Places offers a road map for families in transition.
