Joan Graham

A former New Yorker, Joan Graham is a 35-year Brewster resident and a widowed mother of two. She enjoys wearing as many hats as possible, from writer to Realtor to bereavement counselor. Previously, she was the community relations manager for a large bookstore, a copywriter for New York publishing houses, and an antiques dealer. She thinks the only good things about winter are Christmas and making soup.

I went to Toronto in May and asked a New York friend if I could stay with her one night on the way up and one night on the way back. She agreed and said that, coincidentally, when I returned she would have a houseguest from Toronto, a transgender woman who had "breasts she loved but still had balls." Would I be okay sharing the living room, which had a couch and a daybed? Yes.
