The Red Thread is a memoir about the making of an LGBTQ family in the early 2000s, when same-sex marriage was not yet legal and adoption by same-sex couples was still widely contested.Set between Northern California and Sochi, Russia, the story follows two women brought together by love, determination, and the mysterious pull of fate as they build their family through international adoption.
