Telaina Eriksen's book Unconditional offers parents of LGBTQIA children help navigating the special concerns of raising their child in our still very heteronormative and discriminatory world.
Telaina Eriksen is the author of the Amazon bestseller "Unconditional: A Guide to Loving and Supporting Your LGBTQ Child," which won the 2017 Bisexual Book Award for Nonfiction. Eriksen's poems, essays, and stories have appeared in many online and in-print publications, and she received her MFA in creative writing from Antioch University Los Angeles. She is the proud mom of two adult children, one of whom identifies as gay. Learn more about Eriksen and her work at telaina.com. You can also follow her on Instagram.
