Housewife: Home-remaking in a Transgender Marriage

By Kristin K. Collier

Book Overview

Kristin Collier and her spouse redefine their marriage after her husband announces he has always felt like a woman inside. Over the course of her spouse's gender transition, Kristin evolves too. She leans into her garden, community, and new romantic interests while transforming as a woman, mother, and housewife. With honesty, humor, and grounded in her practice of Compassionate Communication, Collier redefines homemaking as she and her spouse continue to live and parent as partners in the same household. Housewife is a rare personal account of a partner's response to gender transition. Including poetry, blog posts, and four pictures from before and after transition, Collier tells her story from the perspective of a woman and mother as her family breaks out of the box. This book won several awards, including a Silver Nautilus.
