Summary: I laughed; I cried
Comment: This was a great book! It has a variety of essays, focussing on the theme of motherhood. I was very moved by some of them (Beth Kephart's essay about her son's efforts to play soccer; Ariel Gore's about being stuck in the hell that is family court), but also laughed at many places throughout. The "Drama Queen for a Day" short essays were great for the title as well as content.
I was also struck by the depth of emotion expressed by the authors. Reading this book, I felt that it was telling the truth about being a mother; the emotion you feel towards your children is the strongest you'll ever experience.
Rating: 5
Summary: For readers who think
Comment: Most of the essays in this slim but powerful book originally appeared in the Mothers Who Think column on Salon.com, including a real winner by Anne Lamott. Although they vary tremendously in tone, subject, angle, and focus, all together they create a powerfully articulate image of what it means to be Mother. And I'm talking Mother in a minute, interior sense, not in the do-goody style of parenting magazines. There's nothing soapy or sappy in any of these essays - so read it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Must Read
Comment: This book is one that I give to any pregnant women that I know. I read the hardcover edition of this book in one sitting and felt like someone was articulating truths of motherhood. This book offers articles previously published on Salon in the MWT category. However, the site changed the name and focus of the articles.
Buy this book and suggest it to expecting mamas.
