"The collection comes from a sometimes brutal but consistently affirming place of honesty, which makes it both fascinating and essential reading." --Curve Magazine

"The rigid expectation of what a 'family' should look like is something many of us find stifling as we move toward creating our own. Nowhere is this struggle more keenly felt than in the queer community, which faces social and legal hurdles that make the pursuit of family difficult, impossible, or even dangerous ... This book is about what is possible in the face of what you're told is not." --Quill & Quire Magazine

"A well-written, inspirational, and light read, recommended especially for those questioning how their queer or non-traditional family fits into society." --Library Journal

"The stories are beautiful, without shying away from intelligent critique. They are by turns tragic and joyful." --Bunch Family

"The average quality of the essays here is remarkably high. I like to think people who identify as queer take it extra seriously when we set out to tell our stories, but it must also be true that Gillespie is a fine editor who knows how to inspire his contributors." --The Coastal Spectator

"There's an exquisite hopefulness to this book, despite the difficulties many of its contributors have endured. Marriage, parenting, family-building, are presented as fresh and filled with sweetness." --Body Language Journal
