Description
Written by the author of A DIFFERENT SIN, this contemporary novel centers on a custody fight over the child of a lesbian family. Straight out of tomorrow's headlines, it asks the question whether it is love--or law--that makes a family. Bestselling author Rosellen Brown, author of BEFORE & AFTER, had this to say about the book: "IN A FAMILY WAY is a lively & challenging investigation of the complexities of many kinds of families: the ones that are born, that are made, that are defended by love & loyalty. Rochelle Hollander Schwab has peopled her story with sympathetic characters who are never caricatures though they are, without setting out to, fighting the kinds of battles we will be seeing more & more often between "old" & "new" values. In Schwab's hands, these are actually as old as parenthood & the Biblical bonds between mothers, fathers, lovers. Her book does justice to the pain of the conflict." Neil Miller, author of IN SEARCH OF GAY AMERICA, says, "Rochelle Schwab is an engaging writer who should appeal to a wide audience."
