If you were the type of person to judge a book by it's cover (as I often do), you would at first glance think this book is about a wild young woman who becomes a mother. It is. But it's so much more. It's not just for young mothers (expected or unexpected)--it's for older mothers, for never-been mothers, for fathers, for architects, for lawyers, for fast food workers, for ANYONE. Rebecca Woolf's writing lures you in immediately and doesn't cease the whole way through. She's honest, sometimes brutally so. She shows you her fears, her insecurities, and her triumphs. This is one of the few books that I've ever read that made me cry. And made me laugh. And when I finished it, I immediately started reading it again. She's a great mother. And a great writer.
