Join us for an author talk with Anndee Hochman, as she discusses her book Parent Trip and 21st century families, through frank, hilarious, harrowing and real stories of diverse families and how they came to be.
Families are created through conception, adoption, fostering, and family-blending. As a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist for nearly a decade, Anndee Hochman interviewed hundreds of parents—older and younger, single and coupled, straight and queer—about the paths they forged and the obstacles they faced on the road to form a family. Parent Trip is Hochman’s collection of these poignant, wry, and complicated stories.
Anndee Hochman is a freelance writer, educator and storyteller. She is the author of Anatomies: A Novella and Stories and Everyday Acts & Small Subversions: Women Reinventing Family, Community and Home. For nine years, she wrote the weekly "Parent Trip" column in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Her articles, essays and commentaries have appeared in WebMD; Poets & Writers; O, the Oprah Magazine; Redbook; Philadelphia magazine; Broad Street Review and other publications. She is a twelve-time Moth Story Slam winner and tied for the first-place title in Philadelphia's 2022 GrandSlam.
