Insightful, universally touching, and uncommonly wise, Love, Ellen is a story of friendship between mother and daughter and a lesson in understanding for all parents and their children.

"Mom, I'm gay." With three little words, gay sons and daughters can change their parent's lives forever. Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but it was not without a struggle. In Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres tells her story: the complicated path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter, the media's scrutiny of their family life, and the painful and often inspiring stories she heard on the road as the first nongay spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign's National Coming Out Project. Paperback. 384 pages.

This item ships to U.S. and international destinations.

I loved the honesty of how Betty learned to be active in her daughters life, and continues to love her unconditionally. As a mother, no matter what my children experience, I want to be there for them and continue to love them unconditionally. Our children are, after all, our greatest heritage!

Comments about "LOVE, ELLEN: A MOTHER/DAUGHTER JOURNEY" BOOK by Betty DeGeneres:

The book was great, but I was really disappointed with the blanket. Why not market things made in the USA? I know things are cheaper out side our country, but let's get our country BACK by purchasing things made in it !!!!!!! Ellen's got such a big heart for helping people, this really surprizes me that she would allow this . I'm proud to be an AMERICAN. [@]

Comments about "LOVE, ELLEN: A MOTHER/DAUGHTER JOURNEY" BOOK by Betty DeGeneres:

I have two children that are gay and the book goes through all the inner struggles that we all go through, but don't talk about it. Like Betty, I too love my children. I didn't turn my back on them in any matter, they knew no matter what they discovered with their lives, they were always loved and we'd talk about it all.
I love the way Betty is so truthful with all of her emotions.

Comments about "LOVE, ELLEN: A MOTHER/DAUGHTER JOURNEY" BOOK by Betty DeGeneres:

Dear Ellen & Mama, My daughter Cindy looks enough like Elle to be her younger sister. As I turned the pages, I relived our life together and when she came out. Our 4 lives are so similar starting with losing, Ellen's blanket piece to Cindy's Jack Rabbit on a train. I would love to meet you both some day soon. Please let me know how to reach your Mamaso I can share some things for her next book, which will be out when??? Love, Ellie Stevenson. [@]

Comments about "LOVE, ELLEN: A MOTHER/DAUGHTER JOURNEY" BOOK by Betty DeGeneres:

I recieved this book as a gift from my daughter as a Christmas gift. It was one of the best, most trusting gifts, that I as her mother could recieve. Betty is such a "normal" mom, who just teaches us to love and accept our children. I feel lucky to have always had unconditional love for all of my children, but I do reccomend the book to parents who feel insecure about their child's sexuality. She is a treasure to read and just a real mom.
