Now in paperback, this bold and brilliant anthology is the perfect Mothers' Day gift for mothers everywhere.
"Poignant, funny, sensitive, but most importantly, heart-stoppingly trueThis is an outstanding collection of essays, from some of the finest writers, which gets right to the dark heart of what it really means to be a mother." - Clover Stroud, author of My Wild and Sleepless Nights; "A wonderful anthology. I enjoyed it so much - the honesty, intelligence, fury and tenderness of the essays; and, importantly and refreshingly, the range of voices and stories it contains." - Liz Berry, author of The Republic of Motherhood; "This is the kind of book that could well make a difference to someone's life ... every mother should read it." - Laura Pearson, author of I Wanted You to Know; 'If I had added a Post-it Note to every sentence in this book that made me laugh, wince in recognition, or faintly well up, I would have turned it into a paper porcupine.' - Ceri Radford, Independent; "All the pain, power and privilege of being a mother is here in these tales of stepparenting; being unable to conceive; having six children; single parenthood; and of how race, class, disability, religion and sexuality affect our perceptions of motherhood" --Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller Editor's Choice
