Customer Reviews

Comforting and well written!

Marni Jackson is super intelligent and it's so fun to be inside her world. She is funny, comforting, and deeply thoughtful all at once. She's one of the best writers I have ever read. This a such a great book for moms to read. I am about to be a new mother and this book make me feel like I can do it, like I get how it's going to be. It's not going to be perfect Marni reminds us, but it will be layered and wonderful and difficult - just like the rest of life. I highly recommend this book!
