'So much more than a parenting manual - the Grants have thrown out a lifeline'
THE TIMES 'The most extraordinary parenting guide of our time' DAILY MAIL A
breakout book on the ever-expanding concept of family Carrie and David Grant
have an extraordinary family story to tell. They have four children, one of
whom is adopted, and all have come with a curveball: mental health challenges,
neurodivergence, trans non-binary identities, various sexualities, and they
are a mixed-race family, too. It is a reflection of the fact that society is
changing faster than most of us can keep up with. The wider concepts of family
and community are being deconstructed. There are those who are desperately
clinging to the old and those who are desperate for the new to be accepted.
How do we hold our families and communities together in unity? How do we
create a society where all are included and none are oppressed? In A Very
Modern Family, Carrie and David share their challenges and discoveries of
growing and shapeshifting to create an incredible, diverse family and
community. With their multi-intersectional family, they share their own
mindset changes and insights into how to construct a new, accepting and
unified space, while providing a deep dive into real life, frequently
encountered situations and pertinent, applicable advice. A Very Modern Family
is an important guide for our times - full of pain, change and hope. Read more
