A Very Modern Family with David and Carrie Grant

Carrie and David Grant have an extraordinary story to tell: three of their four children are trans or non-binary, they are also gay or queer, all four are neurodivergent, one is adopted, and they are a mixed-race family, too.

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 you with a deep dive into real life, frequently encountered situations and pertinent, applicable advice.

Carrie and David join us in the bookshop for an insightful and poignant discussion about the ever-expanding concept of family.

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 also share that desperation, but 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?

A Very Modern Family is an important guide for our times - full of pain, change and hope.
