À propos de cet audio
National Best Seller
2020 Canada Reads, Longlisted
An inspirational story of accepting and embracing two trans people in a family - a family who shows what's possible when you "lead with love".
All Amanda Jetté Knox ever wanted was to enjoy a stable life. She never knew her biological father, and while her mother and stepfather were loving parents, the situation was sometimes chaotic. At school, she was bullied mercilessly, and at the age of 14, she entered a counselling program for alcohol addiction and was successful.
While still a teenager, she met the love of her life. They were wed at 20, and the first of three children followed shortly. Jetté Knox finally had the stability she craved - or so it seemed. Their middle child struggled with depression and avoided school. The author was unprepared when the child she knew as her son came out as transgender at the age of 11. Shocked, but knowing how important it was to support her daughter, Jetté Knox became an ardent advocate for trans rights.
But the story wasn't over. For many years, the author had coped with her spouse's moodiness, but that chronic unhappiness was taking a toll on their marriage. A little over a year after their child came out, her partner also came out as transgender. Knowing better than most what would lie ahead, Jetté Knox searched for positive examples of marriages surviving transition. When she found no role models, she determined that her family would become one.
The shift was challenging, but slowly the family members noticed that they were becoming happier and more united. Told with remarkable candour and humour, and full of insight into the challenges faced by trans people, Love Lives Here is a beautiful story of transition, frustration, support, acceptance, and, of course, love.

When fourteen-year-old Lamya H realizes she has a crush on her teacher—her female teacher—she covers up her attraction, an attraction she can’t yet name, by playing up her roles as overachiever and class clown. Born in South Asia, she moved to the Middle East at a young age and has spent years feeling out of place, like her own desires and dreams don’t matter, and it’s easier to hide in plain sight. To disappear. But one day in Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam that changes everything: When Maryam learned that she was pregnant, she insisted no man had touched her.

Reese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didn't hate. She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.

Trans people are under attack in sports, healthcare, school curriculum, bathrooms, bars, and nearly every walk of life. He/She/They compassionately addresses fundamental topics, from why being transgender is not a choice and why pronouns are important, to more complex issues including how gender-affirming healthcare can be lifesaving.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"[A] success both through strong writing and the crackling feeling on the page that she genuinely loves the shit out of her trans family." (Xtra)
"This sweet and positive account of a family facing obstacles and growing closer together is inspiring." (Publishers Weekly)
"Love Lives Here is an emotionally raw, often funny book that leaves the reader wanting to be Amanda Jetté Knox’s best friend. It’s the story of how people tried to push her down, and will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever been bullied. And that’s a lot of us!" (Ottawa Sun)

Thought Provoking
Excellent book about love and inclusivity. Made me really think about how I may have inadvertently upset the transgendered people I know. This is definitely going to drive me to read more and be mindful of not just what I say, but how I say it.

Insightful, real and illuminating.
Very enlightening. This is a must read book. Clearly articulates the love and human nature that we must all see and feel when we interface with a person with a different sexual and gender make up from ours. Love indeed, has no gender. It runs freely, and must be unfettered in all of us, and with each other.

Must Read
This book was so beautiful to hear. Great narration by the author. Anyone who loves someone queer or trans should read this book for guidance and as an indirect guide book on how to love someone trans or queer in a supportive way. And any one trans or LGBTQ+ I’d recommend this book to in order to feel some love and inspiration when it comes to what love can look like and how families can heal and thrive. I finished listening to this audiobook and immediately went out and bought 2 paper copies for a couple family members who are working to support their trans teenage daughters.
