This is how a family lives happily ever afterâ¦until happily ever after becomes complicated.
This is how children changeâ¦and then change the world.
This is Claude. Heâs five years old, the youngest of five brothers, and loves peanut butter sandwiches. He also loves wearing a dress, and dreams of being a princess.
When he grows up, Claude says, he wants to be a girl.
Rosie and Penn want Claude to be whoever Claude wants to be. Theyâre just not sure theyâre ready to share that with the world. Soon the entire family is keeping Claudeâs secret. Until one day it explodes.
Laurie Frankel's This Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and family. And itâs about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again, parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts, children grow but not always according to plan. And families with secrets donât get to keep them forever.
