All forty-two stories were told in the same voice. One would suppose that all these women shared their stories with the editor who appears to (perhaps) have written al the accounts herself. That worked our fine s her writing style was easy to read, straightforward and honest. At least it seemed to be honest, I don't know maybe I just think that because the book reflects more discontent than I would have expected.

I enjoyed reading this. So many aspects of motherhood, even the sad parts and the growing parts.
