About this product
Product Information
Author writes for HuffPost and has received several awards, including the Slippery Elm Literary Journal 's Prose Contest, American Literary Review 's Creative Nonfiction Contest, and she was a finalist in both Black Warrior Review 's Nonfiction Contest and Disquiet 's Literary Prize in Creative Nonfiction Author actively updates her blog (www.laralillibridge.com) and social media, contributes to various writing projects, and attends writers' conferences This timely memoir provides perspective on families with same-sex parents, a demographic which continues to grow. As of 2013, in the US: "An estimated 37% of LGBT-identified adults have had a child at some time in their lives" and "[m]ore than 125,000 same-sex couple households (19%) include nearly 220,000 children under age 18." --the Williams Institute at UCLA This book offers a unique perspective in that it is the memoir of a straight(ish) woman, raised by lesbian parents--as opposed to the usual LGBTQ person recounting their childhood or a straight parent's experience raising an LGBTQ child

Reviews
"Lillibridge's story is not told in first person nor does she ever use her name, referring to herself throughout simply as 'Girl.' This lends an almost clinical air to the story, which, Lillibridge writes, is not the one everyone wants her to tell. . . . and, besides, she concludes, 'I want to be the most interesting character in my own story.' And so she is." --Booklist "Stark, moving, and filled with rays of light, Lara Lillibridge's memoir of growing up in a dysfunctional lesbian home takes readers far beyond names and labels into the heart of what it means to be 'family.' Written through the eyes of a girl gifted with wit, courage, and wisdom far beyond her years, Girlish is a troubling yet hopeful story of brokenness, resilience, and love." -- Foreword Reviews "This extraordinary book encompasses and embraces the complexities of twentieth- and twenty-first-century post-nuclear family realities. . . . This is the great strength of Girlish , a compelling memoir for our time." --Sue William Silverman, author of Love Sick and The Pat Boone Fan Club "I don't know what's more surprising--the aching originality of Lillibridge's prose, or how funny this story about a truly dysfunctional family manages to be. Refusing to fall into one category, Girlish is brave, unruly, and startling in its freshness." --Courtney Maum, author of Touch and I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You "Lara Lillibridge's debut memoir shines. Girlish is a gripping coming-of-age story, one of an extraordinary childhood but, yet, also one of a child wishing she could just be more ordinary. Lara tells her story with incredibly vivid detail. It has laugh-out-loud moments, and it has moments of heart-pounding suspense. I was completely immersed: Her family and her experiences became my own as I turned page after compelling page. Girlish is a story that you will not soon forget." --Donna Talarico, founder and publisher, Hippocampus Magazine "Quirky and poignant, Girlish is equal parts jaunty and heartbreaking as Lillibridge turns her keen eye and brilliant prose toward an unconventional childhood and her attempts to navigate the tricky waters and mixed messages about what it means to be female in a family and culture that veer wildly between openness, secrecy, and shame." --Sonja Livingston, author of Ghostbread "Lillibridge's Girlish is a lyrical, literary memoir that explores what it means to be human--to be flawed, to be failed, and to be fond--by recalling her difficult childhood and examining her life now, as an adult." --Sarah Einstein, author of Mot: A Memoir and Remnants of Passion, "This extraordinary book encompasses and embraces the complexities of twentieth- and twenty-first-century post-nuclear family realities. . . .
