The Natural Mother of the Child: A Memoir of Nonbinary Parenthood by Krys Malcolm Belc

4.0

I really was drawn in an held by this story. Krys Malcolm Belc takes his story and tells it in a way different than every memoir type book I've read. The way that he uses different documents, quotes and facts as a jumping off point for the narrative of his life is unique and cool and engaging! The variety of topics in this collection of essays is broad from and circles around non-binary and trans parenthood In a fresh new way. I really applaud his vulnerability telling the story of his family.

As a Michiganders, I was particularly interested in his experience in different cities, particularly Marquette. While the story of his family is beautiful and wonderful, their time in Michigan clearly shows some of the hatred that still exists.

I recommend the audiobook--like most memoirs, I found this one felt super meaningful as told by the narrator.
