Surprised By Motherhood by Lisa-Jo Baker
A lawyer with a well-stamped passport and a passion for human rights, Lisa-Jo Baker never wanted to be a mom. And then she had kids. Having lost her own mother to cancer as a teenager, Lisa-Jo felt lost on her journey to womanhood and wholly unprepared to raise children.Surprised by Motherhood is Lisa-Jo's story of becoming and being a mom, and in the process, discovering that all the what to expect and how to books in the world can never truly prepare you for the sheer exhilaration, joy, and terrifying love that accompanies motherhood.
Set partly in South Africa and partly in the US (with a slight detour to Ukraine along the way), Surprised by Motherhood is a poignant memoir of one woman's dawning realization that being a mom isn't about being perfect--it's about being present.
For than a decade, Lisa-Jo Baker has worked as the community manager for incourage.me, an online community for women all over the world. Her articles have been syndicated from New Zealand to New York, and she is the author of Never Unfriended and Surprised by Motherhood. She lives with her husband and three very noisy children just outside of Washington, DC, where she connects, inspires, and champions women in person and through her blog, lisajobaker.com. She'd love to connect with you on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, where she goes by the handle @lisajobaker.
