It's a Boy : Women Writers on Raising Sons
by Andrea J. Buchanan
It's a Boy is a wide-ranging, often humorous, and very honest collection of essays about the experience of mothering boys. Taking on topics like mothering a teenaged boy ("Shapeshifter" by Melanie Lynne Hauser) the stories reflect the myriad ways these women have mothered sons and come to love the experience in ways that may be different, but no less satisfying, than mothering girls.
