Queer Parent
LGBTQ+ people have more options than ever before when it comes to starting a family, but a lack of both focused information and mainstream representation can leave parents, prospective parents, friends and relatives in the dark. Authors Lotte Jeffs and Stu Oakley spoke to dozens of experts and queer families, and this hugely-needed book is the product of those conversations and their own experiences of becoming parents through IUI and adoption respectively. Ninety percent of queer parenting is just . . . parenting, but being LGBTQ+ when you’re a parent does bring with it a host of conundrums that mainstream guides—which tend to assume heterosexuality—do not address. From adoption, surrogacy, fertility treatment and other routes to parenthood, to donors, trans parenting, how to deal with family-focused homophobia, coming out at the school gates and much more, The Queer Parent is a groundbreaking toolkit for LGBTQ+ parents, parents-to-be, and anyone looking to support their journey. It is a book that redefines the family for the modern age.

Summary of Charles Oakley's The Last Enforcer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. I was raised by my mother, Corine, who worked in a bar. I didn’t tell her that I got the money from gambling, because I didn’t want to get in trouble. I was smart. #2 I grew up the youngest of six children with one brother, Curtis, and four sisters: Saralene, Carolyn, Diane, and Yvonne. I was always protected by my family. I learned at an early age that my parents and grandparents would not tolerate any bullshit. #3 I grew up in Alabama with my grandfather, who was a tough man. I never saw him complain about anything. He passed away when I was in my second year in the NBA, but he was proud of me. #4 When I was growing up in Cleveland, I was in a lot of fights. I learned how to fight and protect myself. When I was playing football in the street, I would get jumped by guys who were usually bigger than me, but I would fight back.
