I'm excited to report that Publishers Weekly reviewed my book, Where's the Mother: Stories from a Transgender Dad.
And, the reviewer appreciated the ways that I draw attention to varying degrees of privilege, including my own. It's a rad, queer review!
From Publishers Weekly: "MacDonald’s debut memoir tells a tale noticeably absent from the
plethora of parenting and breastfeeding books available: that of a
transgender man in a gay marriage to a cisgender man who was himself
adopted, both desperately trying to feed their biological child nothing
but human milk... MacDonald owns his identity, using his elevated platform to call
attention to issues faced by transwomen and transmen, people of color,
and those living in poverty. Most importantly, his story of
transitioning is frank, clever, and easy to process, providing plenty of
parallels to his later struggles with nursing for curious cis readers... a refreshing and insightful narrative."
