Book excerpt: From Carol Dawson, "a master of the light, suspenseful touch" (Chicago Tribune), comes a bittersweet novel about the "other woman" in every marriage.... the Mother-in-Law Diaries Lulu Penfield has had more mothers-in-law than most people could have in three lifetimes. From the maven of household hints to the glacially polite New Zealander to a reputed witch who practices voodoo on an old Raggedy Ann doll, each one of her husbands' mothers has been a singularly memorable participant in Lulu's colorful marital misadventures. Now Lulu herself has become a mother-in-law...and as the torch is passed, Lulu cracks away at the ageless mystery of bonding with her own son's wife -- and makes some surprising discoveries as she goes. "Alternately hilarious and gut-wrenching" (The Austin Chronicle), the Mother-in-Law Diaries rings true for anyone who has ever said "I do" -- and who didn't realize that she was marrying not one person, but two.

Book excerpt: From the author of How Should a Person Be? (“one of the most talked-about books of the year”—Time Magazine) and the New York Times Bestseller Women in Clothes comes a daring novel about whether to have children. In Motherhood, Sheila Heti asks what is gained and what is lost when a woman becomes a mother, treating the most consequential decision of early adulthood with the candor, originality, and humor that have won Heti international acclaim and made How Should A Person Be? required reading for a generation. In her late thirties, when her friends are asking when they will become mothers, the narrator of Heti’s intimate and urgent novel considers whether she will do so at all. In a narrative spanning several years, casting among the influence of her peers, partner, and her duties to her forbearers, she struggles to make a wise and moral choice. After seeking guidance from philosophy, her body, mysticism, and chance, she discovers her answer much closer to home. Motherhood is a courageous, keenly felt, and starkly original novel that will surely spark lively conversations about womanhood, parenthood, and about how—and for whom—to live.

The shameful title of deadbeat mom, carries no weight as to what the actual truth of the matter is. What mother could leave her children for sex, drugs and alcohol? This book is the story of a woman who once did just that and overcame that title. The road to reclaiming motherhood is treacherous. There is a reality to face and in a world of instant gratification, this takes time. Success and results don't come instantaneously but with this book, you have entered into a Divine set up. Through this story, you will gain hope in knowing that you are not alone. Victory is attainable and you are victorious. Today is the first day of the rest of your life and rear view mirrors are made small for a reason. Put your hiking boots on and take the first step up what seems to be an unclimbable mountain. The families and loved ones affected by addiction will also gain hope in hearing what goes through the mind of a deadbeat mom. When I first began the journey of writing this book, I didn't know that it would take the path of throwing out a life raft to the loved ones. You may be tired and you may want to give up and that is understandable. What I want you to know is, although you don't know me, I have been praying for you for quite some time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than eighty designs--iconic, archaic, quotidian, and taboo--that have defined the arc of human reproduction. While birth often brings great joy, making babies is a knotty enterprise. The designed objects that surround us when it comes to menstruation, birth control, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood vary as oddly, messily, and dramatically as the stereotypes suggest. This smart, image-rich, fashion-forward, and design-driven book explores more than eighty designs--iconic, conceptual, archaic, titillating, emotionally charged, or just plain strange--that have defined the relationships between people and babies during the past century. Each object tells a story. In striking images and engaging text, Designing Motherhood unfolds the compelling design histories and real-world uses of the objects that shape our reproductive experiences. The authors investigate the baby carrier, from the Snugli to BabyBjörn, and the (re)discovery of the varied traditions of baby wearing; the tie-waist skirt, famously worn by a pregnant Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy, and essential for camouflaging and slowly normalizing a public pregnancy; the home pregnancy kit, and its threat to the authority of male gynecologists; and more. Memorable images--including historical ads, found photos, and drawings--illustrate the crucial role design and material culture plays throughout the arc of human reproduction. The book features a prologue by Erica Chidi and a foreword by Alexandra Lange.

Book excerpt: Becoming a mother is one of the biggest transitions a woman will face in her lifetime. As she births new life, she also births a whole new identity. In rediscovering who she is, she often loses herself completely in the service of others. This can leave mothers feeling lost, alone and overwhelmed. Motherhood Diaries inspires mothers everywhere to beautifully serve themselves just as they serve others. It reminds moms that self-love is as vital as the oxygen they breathe, is the gateway to their inner brilliance and the biggest gift they can give their children. It will empower mothers to make self-love a priority, so that they are much more able to navigate the beautiful and messy journey of motherhood. Mothers, whether expecting, new, or seasoned want to be the best possible mother, raising incredible human beings that make a positive difference in the world. This book inspires mothers to raise their children to be their brightest light in this world, by being that themselves. In Motherhood Diaries, mothers will learn practical strategies for: • implementing self-love practices and affirmations into busy mom life • showing themselves compassion, becoming more present, resilient and connected within • loving and accepting all the healed and unhealed parts of themselves • surrendering in faith over fear to become a magnet for miracles Eleven mothers share their powerful stories of how they turned their pain into purpose and broke open to their own light through learning to love and care for themselves. In serving from a place of completion rather than depletion, these mothers have become a force of deep love, peace, joy and compassion. It is their deepest hope that in sharing their truth, mothers will find their way back home to their own. A message for mothers: “You are beautiful and complete, just as you are. You are already doing an incredible job as you are innately led by love. Remember that no matter how sleep-deprived, messy, or challenging things may seem, the pure LOVE that exists in your heart is the compass to your soul. As you connect more deeply to your inner voice, it will guide you at every turn. It will give you the answers you need to navigate the adventure of motherhood.”
