How does a mother handle a child that is different?
I just read two books where the mothers discovered that their sons were more interested in girlish play- dolls, cooking. They both were not only uncomfortable with that, but felt the need to hide it from the fathers. In one book, the child was a hermaphrodite, in the other book the boy was gay.
Both books were fascinating. I loved the characters, writing, plot and setting. One was in small town Ontario and the other was in Labrador. They both were emotional. One had a more satisfying ending for me.
