From Priest to Father of a Transgender Son: Rick Prashaw
This is an incredible story of acceptance and open-mindedness of a parent. Rick Prashaw was a journalist who became a Catholic priest. He met a woman, fell in love, left the priesthood and got married. Then he became a father to a baby girl named Rebecca, who later in life decided to become a transgender boy named Adam. Adam then tragically lost his life, but saved several lives in the process, one of whom became Rick's friend. And when Rick decided to write a book about his experiences, he chose the perfect co-author - his late son. Another great one!
