Mothermorphosis : Vignettes about the

MotherMorphosis is the poignant story of a thirty-something professional woman's baptism by fire into motherhood. You'll laugh and you'll cry as you identify with the joys and challenges of becoming a mom-from the wonder of beholding a tiny new being to the awe of having said tiny new being dependent on you 24/7-and seeking that elusive balance among the myriad roles a mommy must fulfill. And just when the author thought she had it all figured out, baby #2 arrived on the scene. Book jacket.
