Abstract:
This collection of honest essays edited by Peri and Moses captures the challenges of motherhood in the twenty-first century as no other book has. Told in prose that is as frank as it is lyrical, this is the collective voice of real mothers in all their humor, anger, vulnerability, grace, and glory.--[book jacket]
