How to navigate parenthood in a gender fluid and neurodivergent age, by Carrie and David Grant.
'So much more than a parenting manual - the Grants have thrown out a lifeline' THE TIMES
'The most extraordinary parenting guide of our time' DAILY MAIL
A breakout book on the ever-expanding concept of family
Carrie and David Grant have an extraordinary family story to tell. They have four children, one of whom is adopted, and all have come with a curveball: mental health challenges, neurodivergence, trans non-binary identities, various sexualities, and they are a mixed-race family, too.
It is a reflection of the fact that society is changing faster than most of us can keep up with. The wider concepts of family and community are being deconstructed. There are those who are desperately clinging to the old and those who are desperate for the new to be accepted. How do we hold our families and communities together in unity? How do we create a society where all are included and none are oppressed?
In A Very Modern Family, Carrie and David share their challenges and discoveries of growing and shapeshifting to create an incredible, diverse family and community. With their multi-intersectional family, they share their own mindset changes and insights into how to construct a new, accepting and unified space, while providing a deep dive into real life, frequently encountered situations and pertinent, applicable advice.
A Very Modern Family is an important guide for our times - full of pain, change and hope.
