ABC A Family Alphabet Book from Two Lives Pub Price: $8.95 Customer Review:  I am pleased to see a children's book incorporating LGBT families as characters without presenting LGBT-specific issues as the central topic of the book. Kudos to the authors for choosing to depict a fair amount of racial diversity including interracial families. However, I was disappointed to see a... |

A Donor Insemination Guide: Written by and for Lesbian Women from Haworth Press Price: $9.71 Customer Review:  This was the first pregnancy book I read. Frankly, I found it a bit scary. The authors clearly had a very hard time with conception and with their small-town North Carolina doctors. That seems to have made them a tad fanatical about moms-to-be doing *everything* "right" or they'll never have a... |

The Lesbian Parenting Book: A Guide to Creating Families and Raising Children from Seal Press (WA) Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I was very excited to get this book, but was slightly disappointed upon reading it. I was hoping it would focus more on problems and solutions unique to lesbian parents. While it did touch on these subjects, it focused more on basic parenting skills. The ideas were very good, just a little broader... |

Gay Fathers: Encouraging the Hearts of Gay Dads and Their Families from Jossey-Bass Price: $15.64 Customer Review:  Simply put, I was disappointed with the book. The material and examples of gay fatherhood seemed dated. The style was also troubling--the book was written from a therapist's perspective, and it was clearly meant for other mental health professionals (although not necessarily marketed as such). With... |

In Kindergarten neither of them even had the concept that having two Moms was bad or that one or the other of us was or was not their real Mom. I sure don't want to introduce those ideas thru a... |

Selected Poems: 1965-1990 from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $14.95 Customer Review: For anyone who believes in the true "craft" of poetry, Marilyn Hacker is a breath of fresh air. Far to the opposite of the spectrum of purely narrative poetry, Hacker's work -- throughout her career -- has demonstrated the true skill a poet can achieve through meter and rhyme. Selected Poems... |
