A father for six years, a mother for ten, and for a time in between, neither, or both, Jennifer Finney Boylan has seen parenthood from both sides of the gender divide. When her two children were young, Boylan came out as transgender, and as Jenny transitioned from a man to a woman and from a father to a mother, her family faced unique challenges and questions. In this thoughtful, tear-jerking, hilarious memoir, Jenny asks what it means to be a father, or a mother, and to what extent gender shades our experiences as parents. Through both her own story and incredibly insightful interviews with others, including Richard Russo, Edward Albee, Ann Beattie, Augusten Burroughs, Susan Minot, Trey Ellis, Timothy Kreider, and more, Jenny examines relationships between fathers, mothers, and children; people's memories of the children they were and the parents they became; and the many different ways a family can be. With an Afterword by Anna Quindlen, Stuck in the Middle with You is a brilliant meditation on raising—and on being — a child. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content Review: Wonderful book. - As the parent of a transgender adult, this was the first book I read after my daughter came out to our family. It is beautifully written, thoughtful, informative, funny, and comforting, and was a tremendous help at a time when I was trying to understand my daughter's struggles, as well as deal with my own. It made me feel that a world that had just been turned upside down for me would be righted in whatever the new "right" would be. I have given the book to friends so that they can better understand what it means to be born transgender. The entire experience has made me really think about something that I always knew: I love my children no matter who they are and how they express themselves. Especially, in this case, where my child has struggled so deeply and has anguished so much just wanting to be who she was born to be. Thank you Jennifer! Review: Another Memoir from Jennifer Finney Boylan - This is a sequel to "She's Not There", and to me not as good because it covers ground covered in the previous book. Still, Ms. Boylan is a great writer and can make anything sound fascinating. The main thing that sticks with me from this memoir...is how, after she became a woman, she kept being kicked out of bands she joined. As a man, even a middle aged man, as a rocker in a band, a talented musician, Jimmy got a lot of satisfaction and joy from playing in a band. As a middle aged woman...well, in our society, middle aged women are just not cool, especially in a rock band. Welcome to life over here, Jennifer. I wondered whether life as a woman was all Ms. Boylan dreamed it would be. I would ask her questions if I could. Still, her life is good in many ways...as a college English professor...as the parent of exemplary, talented, intelligent children...in a caring, devoted marriage that has weathered storms that would wreck most marriages. Ms. Boylan is so likable, so good natured, explains things so well, it was a pleasure to spend time in her company, in the form of reading another memoir, once again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,967,208 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,450 in Parenting Boys #1,673 in LGBTQ+ Biographies (Books) #2,347 in Parenting Girls | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 186 Reviews | ## Images ![Stuck in the Middle with You: A Memoir of Parenting in Three Genders - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QUY5P8fBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book. *by J***. on December 3, 2014* As the parent of a transgender adult, this was the first book I read after my daughter came out to our family.

Of all her three memoirs, this one is probably the most intellectually probing and detached, no small achievement considering it is also the most intimate and personal. It's also fiercely funny at points. This time around the story is not just the tale the journey of Jenny and her wife and children, although that is told again and TMI relief, but an exploration into the meaning and impacts of all of our parent-child relationships and the gender filters through which we view our lives. Thankfully, the issue of gender seems to take a back seat in this one and perhaps that is ultimately the point. Time, age, and perspective make this one the most profoundly mature of three excellent books in her memoir series. Jenny is now so comfortable in her own skin, and seems so happy in her own life, that now can come reflection and the quest for understanding. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1372440-stuck-in-the-middle-with-you-a-memoir-of-parenting](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1372440-stuck-in-the-middle-with-you-a-memoir-of-parenting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
