Description

In her first book, Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres revealed the struggles of her own life and those of her famous daughter, television and film actress Ellen DeGeneres. At the end of that book, Betty invited readers to send letters, questions, and stories about their own battles as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, or straight human beings caught up, as she is, in the fight against homophobia. The response was overwhelming, and the result is Just a Mom. In this loving and thoughtful book, American's Mom, Betty DeGeneres, does what she's been doing for her family for years. She provides supportive, practical, nurturing advice grounded in years of life experience and an ever-evolving understanding of motherhood. Any gay person, any parent of a gay person, any sibling or friend or acquaintance of a gay person will benefit by reading this wonderful book.
