As a mom, there's no escaping the deep-rooted need to keep your children on the right path. But what if one of your teenage kids thinks the path to happiness is through a sex change? And what if the other, while flailing around, trying to find his way, pops out five alternate personalities? Teenage suicide keeps creeping into your thoughts. Some parents face that risk once... but twice? How do you keep from having a nervous breakdown? How do you help the entire family find peace again? Secret Selves is the surprising, touching, and sometimes humorous account of a mother trying to ease the panic and accept the unthinkable twists fate has dropped in her lap. Jamie Johnson's memoir is a deeply personal account of her family's struggles and triumphs. It is shared with courage and honesty. Johnson explains how even her doubts and mistakes while raising her two very interesting children helped her to see life through different eyes. A heartwarming story about what it means to love. A story about hope.
