"This book will help any parent who is confused, hurt, afraid, angered, or surprised by their child's coming outWriting with compassion, wit, and wisdom, Cottrell strikes the perfect balance between sharing her own story and offering gentle guidance so the reader can navigate their own. In an age where we are all adjusting to changing understandings of sexuality, this book will be invaluable to those who want fully to know and affirm all the children they love."--Cynthia L. Rigby, W. C. Brown Professor of Theology at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary "I can't overstate the importance of this book as it fills the most critical gap in Christian parenting literature: parenting LGBTQ children. I can only imaging that had this book been written earlier, the world would be a little less broken and the church would be more equipped to love our children. This is a book I hope all Christian parents will read-- even the ones who don't think they need to." --Benjamin L. Corey, Author of Undiluted: Rediscovering the Radical Message of Jesus
