"An exquisite read: a rich, clear, and compelling contribution at the cutting edge of gender studies, it is also a deeply moving search by a boy mom for a world where her son can fully be himself. Peeples's book demonstrates the thrilling power of social science research to help us get things right for children." —Michael C. Reichert, author of How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men

"In this honest and beautiful account of her experiences with her son during his early adolescent years, Rebekah Peeples provides carefully researched insights alongside thoughtful personal reflections that illuminate ways to foster boys' healthy emotional expression and relationships. Unchanged Trebles emphasizes the power and pleasure of listening to boys and explores the possibility of building communities with boys that are inclusive, center on mutual respect and collaboration, contribute to their sense of purpose and belonging, and enable their authentic voices to develop and find resonance." —Judy Y. Chu, author of When Boys Become Boys: Development, Relationships, and Masculinity

"Unchanged Trebles isn't an academic look at boys' choirs; it's the story of a mom and son grappling with social expectations and biology at a time when gender, sex, and masculinity are undergoing redefinition. Parenting a boy challenges Rebekah Peeples's understanding of gender, and together she and her son chart a path through the messy terrain of boyhood. Brava to Peeples and her son for showing us a world that's surprisingly relevant to the present moment." —Jennifer L. W. Fink, author of Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World that Misunderstands Males

“Unchanged Trebles is Peeples's contribution to the great tradition of social scientists turning an analytical lens on their own family lives. She bravely examines her journey as a parent through the unique and underexamined activity of boy choirs—a topic on which her meditations on gender identity and masculinity could not be more timely.” —Hillary Levey Friedman, author of Playing to Win: Raising Children in a Competitive Culture
