This is how a family keeps a secret…and how that secret ends up keeping them.

This is how a family lives happily ever after…until happily ever after becomes complicated.

This is how children change…and then change the world.

This is Claude. He’s five years old, the youngest of five brothers, and loves peanut butter sandwiches. He also loves wearing a dress, and dreams of being a princess.

When he grows up, Claude says, he wants to be a girl.

Rosie and Penn want Claude to be whoever Claude wants to be. They’re just not sure they’re ready to share that with the world. Soon the entire family is keeping Claude’s secret. Until one day it explodes.

This Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and family. And it’s about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again, parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts, children grow but not always according to plan. And families with secrets don’t get to keep them forever.

"This is a novel everyone should read. It’s brilliant. It’s bold. And it’s time.”

―Elizabeth George, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Banquet of Consequences

用户评价

一眼读上去，似乎讲的是一个女孩子在男孩子身体里的故事。但是讲得远不止这些。为人父母，在这个故事里也是很沉重的话题。还有就是九九归一的如何为人。

是的，去泰国吧，那里是天堂。

愿你一直成为自己

昨天看完… 正在读这本书的时候正好在跟一个朋友讨论类似话题 都觉得有时候为了政治正确生活实在太难了
