"When her lesbian partner, Cheryl, gave birth through artificial insemination, Phyllis Burke discovered, to her surprised delight, that she too had become a mother. Written with a novelist's eye, Family Values is her beautifully told account of a personal transformation that began with loving an extraordinary little boy named Jesse. With warmth and humor, Burke's engaging narrative captures the experience of parenthood, from scrutinizing home pregnancy kits and struggling through Cheryl's difficult labor to bedtime readings of Peter Pan and scraping SpaghettiOs off the kitchen floor. Burke had always felt it necessary to camouflage her lesbian identity, but as the two women raised Jesse together, she writes ' I could no longer pass for straight ' ... My life became a crash course in 'the personal is political.' She brilliantly depicts a mother's radicalization as she attends activist events, fields questions from a woefully unenlightened state adoption worker, and deals with neighborhood church ladies. Burke's inspiring story of love and liberation proves that family values should be - could be, need to be - human values."
