"S. Bear Bergman is a first-rate storyteller, and this is his finest book to date. This heartwarming book is the first of its kind: a father/son love story in a family with one incredible kid and two queer, polyamorous, trans dads. Chapter by chapter, Bergman answered any question I had (and many questions I'd never considered) about the sociology of the ever-present radical normalcy in postmodern nuclear family life, and the tragicomedy of chosen family, deep in the heart of LGBT queerdom. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and gasp out loud. I sure did." --Kate Bornstein "S. Bear Bergman writes tenderly and thoughtfully about the many many ways family creates us -- and breaks us -- for which we have few words.

Yes, in some ways I love this book just because there are ways in which it's my own personal family album. But I love it even more for the ways in which it is yours, and everyone's." --Hanne Blank "A memoir that confronts all sorts of difficult ideas about family and love, exploding preconceived notions and embarking on redefinitions." -- National Post "I have read so many books, but none so much as Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter have made me feel less alone." -- Autostraddle "Bergman has crafted a well-wrought book of essays on parenting, non-traditional families, healing from old wounds, and intimacy that very nearly brought me to tears on several occasions . The book rings true and clear in a modern queer world." -- Lambda Literary.
