http:\/\/themotherinme.com\/<\/a><\/p>\nMotherhood is complex, yet simple. It is exhausting, yet rewarding. It is heartbreaking, yet joyful. It is life changing and fulfilling.<\/p>\n
This collection of poems and essays will leave you full of the joys of mothering but understanding there are days of sorrow. Cry, laugh, nod in agreement, and be grateful you aren?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2t alone. These stories will bring that to the forefront.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has been a mother, who has yet to become one, who is in the throes of day to day parenting, or who has yearned for motherhood through the pain of infertility will find something with which to identify.<\/p>\n
Each story is individual, yet global; we can all see ourselves in some, if not most of the essays and poems. Kathryn Lyndard Soper brings them all together in a flowing fashion. The various authors are women in various stages of their lives who share with startling candour what motherhood is really like.<\/p>\n
Prepare to enjoy it from start to end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
