Description: Michelle Darně was an acclaimed spokesperson for equality at the helm of "And Baby", a pioneer magazine, radio show, and TV series on alternative parenting--but when her relationship with her partner ended, she found herself at once callously erased from the lives of her children and silenced by the law. "Parent Deleted" is a gripping story of one non-biological lesbian mother's fight for her children. And it is so much more than that. This is an intimate, infuriating, and infectious story of perseverance, sacrifice, and hope in the face of debilitating adversity. And it casts a floodlight on an emergent social justice frontier: the rights of all children to their parents, whether they are biologically linked, straight, gay, prepared or knocked up, perfect spouses or fallible ones."--Back cover.
