    About this ebook

    Four parents – Joseph and Michael, Mary and Ruth – along with a sage innkeeper and her two shepherd husbands, and of course "Three Wise Men," form the perfect queer family for gender-free Baby J. Add one sardonic census official, a couple of Amazons, and a loyal donkey named Poco for a sweet and savory tale of compassion and goodness at the dawn of the Common Era. The iconic baby-in-a-manger story, told here in a way we've never heard before, has room for all at the inn, every day of the year.

    EL Bossert

    EL Bossert was raised on a small quiet farm, near a small quiet town in the Midwest, with horses, goats, cats, sometimes chickens, and a very large Newfoundland who was occasionally mistaken for a bear. EL is an author of romance novels and irreverent text messages whose alter ego holds down a day job as a professor of gender studies in order to support their hiking habit. EL spends time with family and friends watching movies and enjoying the conversation.  EL Bossert is the author of Charming Memory, Portrait of a Wedding, and The Book of Baby J.
