Three Parents and a Mom

What does it mean to finally become the person you have always known yourself to be?

Three Parents and a Mom is a novel born of truth-a story of identity, family, friendship and an extraordinary journey towards motherhood.

From childhood on Sydney Harbour to the beaches of Hawai'i, Jaime Rivers has always known who she is, even when the world around her sees someone else. With the unwavering love of her family and the lifelong friendship of Lucy, Jaime finds the courage to live openly as herself and, at eighteen, takes the life-changing step that allows her body to finally reflect the woman she has always been.

Her journey carries her from Sydney to Bangkok, university life in Queensland and eventually back to Hawai'i, where a career in marine science gives her both purpose and a home beside the Pacific.

Then she meets Jack.

Their growing love brings Jaime a happiness she had never expected-but also confronts her with something she believes she can never give him: a child of their own.

What follows is an extraordinary act of love involving Jaime, Jack, her sister Jenni and her closest friend Lucy. Together they challenge the conventional meaning of parenthood and discover that family is not simply determined by biology.

Warm, intimate and ultimately life-affirming, Three Parents and a Mom is a story about becoming yourself, finding love, and discovering that there can be more than one way to create a family.

Sometimes it takes more than two people to make a baby. It takes a family to make a home.
