Editorial Reviews

Review

Though subtitled fiction, these stories have that ring of truth that lets us know we are being allowed a glimpse into real lives, replete with the joy and tragedy, ordinariness and outrageousness, anger and humor that raising (and losing) children in gay and lesbian parented households creates. This is a collection rich in insights and information for anyone who values the family. --Becky Birtha, author and parent

All The Ways Home is a mosaic of choices from our gloriously diverse community, exploring our lives with our treasured children and celebrating true Family Values. Encore! Encore! --Tim Fisher, Executive Director, Gay and Lesbian Parents Coalition International

All the Ways Home made me realize how few stories I've ever read that reflect the complex issues my partner, my children and I have faced because we are a lesbian-headed family. The collection is a welcome patchwork quilt warm and familiar and easy to curl up with. --Debra Chasnoff
