"A Grand Love" by Janna Barkin is a beautifully written memoir that offers a profound and inspiring look at the journey of raising a transgender child. With its authentic narrative, emotional depth, and educational value, the book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the power of love and acceptance in the face of adversity. Barkin’s story is not only a tribute to her child but also a testament to the strength and resilience of families navigating similar paths.

This is a very helpful resource for grandparents of transgender children, that will help to foster understanding and answer many of the questions that arise. I’m hopeful that this will lead to greater compassion and acceptance among families - thank you, Janna, for writing this book.
