Parenting Pregnancy Childbirth

Each year, every year, new mothers face all sorts of challenges in their mothering - some expected, and many entirely surprising. Thinking about balancing children, life, relationships and work, the perennial question women pose is 'Can I have it all?' - but sometimes the truer question is, 'Can I get through this?' Discussing what it means to be a mother with eleven extraordinary women, Jessica Rowe reveals the obstacles they encountered along the way, the joys and the heartache, the myths and realities. Featuring exceptionally honest conversations with these fascinating women - Lisa McCune, Heidi Middleton, Elizabeth Broderick, Wendy Harmer, Collette Dinnigan, Maggie Tabberer, Tina Arena, Quentin Bryce, Nova Peris, Gail Kelly, Darcey Bussell and Jessica herself - the ultimately joyous and shared nature of the motherhood journey is revealed. With humour and great humanity, Love. Wisdom. Motherhood. is inspirational.
