This is a beautifully written novel about an unusually difficult medical condition. When Jacinta and Treadway's only child is born with hermaphroditism, they are compelled to make a difficult decision about the child's gender identity. The challenges that they and their child encounter are heartbreaking. There is a pervasive and haunting sense of sadness and loneliness in parts of this book, and a very poignant message about acceptance. I will remember this book for quite awhile.
