A New York Times Bestseller and Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick, this is one of those novels we can’t stop pressing into the hands of anyone who lingers near the fiction shelf.
“Every once in a while, I read a book that opens my eyes in a way I never expected,” said Reese Witherspoon. We feel the same way.
This is Claude. He’s five years old, the youngest of five brothers, and he loves peanut butter sandwiches. He also loves wearing a dress and dreams of being a princess. When he grows up, Claude says, he wants to be a girl.
Rosie and Penn want Claude to be whoever Claude wants to be. They’re just not sure they’re ready to share that with the world. Soon the whole family is keeping Claude’s secret. Until, one day, it explodes.
Laurie Frankel has written a story about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and the messy, miraculous business of being a family. It’s about how change is always hard and wonderful and hard again. How parenting is a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts. And how some secrets simply refuse to stay kept.
“It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think,” wrote Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies.
Named a Top 10 book by People, a Pacific Northwest Book Awards finalist, and longlisted for the International DUBLIN Literary Award, this is the kind of read that earns its place by the window on a salty, gray afternoon.
