Life after children is often something that takes most women completely by surprise. No matter the classes attended, books read and advice from friends nothing ever fully prepares you for those days of self-discovery. In Between Interruptions mothers from all walks of life share their honest and open experiences about this ever changing territory.

Sheree-Lee Olson, Cori Howard and Susanna Kearsley will all join me for an on-line chat at Gail's Kitchen on Saturday, November 8 from 9 to 11 a.m. PST.
The topic of discussion? Finding that time to write within our very busy lives. All three authors are parents but still manage writing careers. How do they do it? Well, that’s what we’ll be chatting about. I’ll have a few ideas to throw in there myself as I’m the mom in a blended family of four!

The initial chapter of this book was title "Ambition" and filled with women that were under the grand delusion that having a child wouldn't actually change their lives that much...oh, and most of them could afford a nanny too. So, I was a little put off at first. But, the essays improved, and I was able to relate to many of them on some level. Definitely the authors expressed some raw honesty about motherhood that I myself would have been afraid to put on paper.

the first time i read it i had an 18 month old and I loved it. it's like spying on other mothers and reading their diaries. some authors are better than others but it is an interesting collection of essays by women about motherhood (as seen by successful educated older mothers with careers/celebrity status).

I found it very comforting to read stories of women who had to make difficult choices about their careers when they became mothers. I couldn't put the book down as I went from one story to another. For me, this was a pleasant departure from the 'miracle' culture of motherhood.

Loving this book- and finding it humorous that I literally only end up reading the stories "between interruptions!"

it was reassuring to see some reflections of my own experiences of being a parent, a new mum (again!) and the impact upon relationships.
