Description: When a sociologist finds herself the mother of a gifted but reluctant boy soprano, she plunges unexpectedly into the world of boys-only choirs, exploring the deeper meanings of a centuries-old tradition that celebrates the gender fluidity of boy's voices.

Review Quotes:

"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"
