Expecting Teryk is an intimate exploration, written in the form of a letter from a parent to her future son, that reclaims a rite of passage that modern society would strip of its magic. Dawn Prince-Hughes, renowed author of Songs of a Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism, considers the ways her disabilities might inform her parenting. She candidly narrates her experience of becoming a parent as part of a lesbian couple-from meeting her partner and the questions they ask about their readiness to become parents, to the practical considerations of choosing a sperm donor. Expecting Teryk is expressed through the lens of autism as Prince-Hughes shares the unique way she sees and experiences. Contemplating the evolutionary traditions of motherhood, and embedded in the reassurances that nature offers, Expecting Teryk is a work of sensuous wonder that speaks to the deeper realities and archetypal experiences shared by all who embark on the journey of parenthood.ParentsBiographyLesbian mothersBiographyAutistic peopleBiographyParenthoodPregnancyParentsLesbian mothersAutistic peopleParenthood.Pregnancy.306.874/3/087Prince-Hughes Dawn1964-1820203MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974836703321Expecting Teryk4382007UNINA
