Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER (The Globe and Mail) Finalist for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction (2014) Yet despite these agreeable circumstances, Joe’s internal life was haunted by conflicting desires. Alison’s father was a professor of political science and amateur choral conductor, her mother was an accomplished pianist and marathon runner, and together they had fed the family a steady diet of arts, adventures, mishaps, normal frustrations and inexhaustible laughter. But when he came out of the closet in the 1970s, when homosexuality was still a cardinal taboo, it was a shock to everyone in the quiet community of Peterborough, Ontario—especially to his wife and three children. Alison Wearing led a largely carefree childhood until she learned, at the age of 12, that her family was a little more complex than she had realized.
