Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me is packed with a medley of stories of new motherhood. This is a quick read that can give any new mom or mom-to-be insite into the postpartum world. I think the most valuable asset this book has to offer is the wide range of backgrounds and circumstances the families come from. Bowden interviewed first time moms, teen moms, mothers of mulitples, a lesbian couple, an older mom and more! Reading this book can give moms an idea of what they may encounter on the journey through the first months of motherhood. It has great recommendations to help new moms prepare for these ups and downs such as: finding a support network, gathering resource ahead of time, or hiring a postpartum doula. Reading this book can only help ease a new family into parenthood.
