She Looks Just Like You: A Memoir of (Nonbiological Lesbian) Motherhood

As a midwestern, station wagon–driving, stay-at-home mom—and as a nonbiological lesbian mother— Miller’s experience both defines and defies the norm. Like new parents everywhere, she wrestled with the anxieties that accompany parenthood, fantasized about sleep, and watched as the presence of a baby transformed her eighteen-year relationship with her partner. Miller’s candid and often humorous memoir is a much-needed cultural roadmap of what it means to be a parent when the usual categories no longer fit.
