Equally entertaining and eye opening, Sarah bravely tells her journey into motherhood. She spares no detail. It is an unapologetically honest reflection of the expectations she just couldn’t meet as a new mother despite “having it all.” Her journey from the brink of motherhood will have you crying, laughing, and rooting for her the entire way. This memoir changes the dialogue and is a critical read for anyone interested in modern culture and the female experience.

Popular Highlights in this book
Maybe there was no such thing as a dream husband or a dream house or a dream baby, only this: the promise to try to be your best, a dedication to evolving, and a belief that demanding the kind of care and boundaries needed in a marriage was a right and necessary part of being in a happy relationship.Highlighted by 50 Kindle readers- Womanhood, in my estimation, was death by a thousand cuts. It was trying to have a career yet feeling huge pressure to make dinner for your kids every single night; it was feeling sick and depressed to death while perpetuating the human species and having your very doctor tell you to be grateful for feeling that way.Highlighted by 45 Kindle readers

About the author
Bold, Beautiful, and Edgy Tale of Motherhood
Sarah Hoover’s memoir offers mothers and expectant mothers a place to pull up a chair, light a cigarette, and dish about what no one talks about around pregnancy and postpartum. With wit and unflinching honesty, Hoover lays bare her own experience, but her writing offers the reader an intimate, arm around the shoulder kind of “I’m telling you this so you don’t have to live it or hide it.” Excellent writing that keeps the story moving while never losing the feel of the best kind of late night conversation.
