"Elise (Mom) and Nikki (M) are young, millennial parents who prove that humor and love can make it through nearly everything and that family is deeper than blood. It is a choice. 

 

"Together they navigate what happens when your partner comes out as transgender while caring for an ill child and that remission is not the end to life’s challenges."
