Choosing Family: A Memoir of Queer Motherhood and Black Resistance
Francesca Royster
Abrams Books
This lyrical and affecting memoir focuses on a unit of three: the author; her wife Annie, who's white; and Cecilia, the Black daughter they adopt as a couple in their 40s and 50s.
Choosing Family chronicles this journey to motherhood while examining the messiness and complexity of adoption and parenthood from a Black, queer, and feminist perspective.
