Jewish Book & Arts Fair: Julie Tarney

Julie Tarney’s only child, Harry, at age two told her, “Inside my head I’m a girl.” Julie had no idea what that meant. Should she set limits to his self-expression? Could she do the right thing? What was the right thing? Julie realized her job was to love and support Harry. This story of a mother embracing her child’s uniqueness and her own will resonate with all families. Tarney serves on the Board of the It Get’s Better Project.
