She Is Not Our Son

This review was not written by me.

'She Is Not Our Son' by Amazon Best-Selling Author Lee Cushing is a profoundly moving and socially relevant novel that delves into pressing issues surrounding identity, human rights, and community dynamics.
The theme of morality is apparent throughout the novel, particularly in relation to religion and the perception of sin.
Cushing skillfully weaves a narrative that is both poignant and urgent, shedding light on the challenges faced by transgender individuals in unwelcoming environments. The story focuses on the gut instinct of right and wrong, distinguishing it from merely following doctrine.
Jamie’s story is both heart-wrenching and eye-opening, portraying the pain of rejection and the necessity of acceptance in achieving equality and dignity—for both society and the individual.
The constancy of the moral message and the pure ingenuity of the book are striking. The novel also shines in its exploration of allyship—a lifelong process of working to advance inclusion through intentional, positive, and conscious actions within one’s sphere of influence.
Through Kate Tennant’s journey—both as an investigator seeking justice and as a woman navigating her own identity—the story underscores the importance of empathy and action in addressing societal injustice. Her partnership with Alice offers a tender counterbalance to the harsh realities depicted, reminding readers of the power of love and solidarity.
Cushing’s unflinching portrayal of intolerance challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths, while the hopeful undertones inspire a vision of a better future. This book is a must-read for those passionate about social justice, as it champions the fundamental rights of individuals to live authentically and without fear.
I highly recommend picking up a copy of Cushing’s magnificent novel and giving it a try. Whatever happens, it will remain a timeless book, inspiring good people with its powerful message.
