In 50 self-searching, witty, and moving essays, letters, and poems, readers of Love, Always hear from those who often receive little airtime in popular culture: The partners & spouses of transgender people. In this first-of-its kind collection, we catch glimpses of love, strife, and growth from those who witness and support gender transition, even as they themselves are going through their own transition in seeing gender, labels, and their own selves anew.

Helen Boyd is the author of My Husband Betty and She’s Not the Man I Married
Miriam Hall is a writer and has a few essays in collections from partners of trans folk, two chapbooks of poetry and a co-authored title on contemplative photography, called Looking and Seeing, to her publishing credit.
Shawnee Parens has lived in Madison, WI for the last 20 years and was honored to be apart of the inaugural Listen to Your Mother Cast in May 2010.
