Amie = Mama. Jane = Mommy.
Amie K. Miller's 'She Looks Just Like You - A Memoir of (Nonbiological Lesbian) Motherhood' is a warm, entertaining, honest and funny memoir about parenthood. Amie, the 'unpregnant' partner, writes about the anxieties and excitement of becoming a first-time parent...a nonbiological lesbian parent.
Additionally, Amie shares the unique challenges and experiences of lesbian motherhood;
* standing before a judge to adopt her own daughter
* how to respond when strangers would gush 'I bet Daddy's proud'
* defining her role and identity as the non-birth mother...faux Dad??
This book is truly for all parents, gay and straight alike. As parents we want the best for our children, we want to keep them safe and to know that they are loved. And whether it's Mom and Dad, Mama and Mommy, or Dad and Daddy...as a parent we all share the same universal anxieties, hopes, fears and tremendous unconditional love for our children. It is love that makes a family.
