Bear Bergman is an acclaimed writer and lecturer who travels regularly across North America to speak on trans issues. Bear's first two books, \u003ci\u003eButch Is a Noun\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Nearest Exit May Be Behind You\u003c\/i\u003e, are considered seminal texts on the subject of trans life. In his third essay collection, Bear enters, describes, and rearranges our ideas about family as a daughter, husband, father, and friend. In Bear's extended family \"orchard,\" drag sisters, sperm-donor's parents, Sparkles and other relations provide more branches of love, support, and sustenance than a simple family tree. Defiantly queer yet full of tenderness and hilarity, \u003ci\u003eBlood, Marriage, Wine \u0026amp; Glitter\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully thought-provoking book that redefines the notion of what family is and can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS.
