WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT
M O T H E R H O O D C O N F I D E NT I A L
AT LAST, A BOOK THAT ENCOURAGES MOTHERS TO STRIVE FOR IMPERFECTION.
WE CAN SUCCEED AT THAT!"
British Comedienne, Dawn French
"Beyond the dictates of dogma, beyond the despair of self-doubt, Motherhood Confidential takes us to a place where insight and authenticity are the true authorities."
Ayelet Waldman, author Daughter's Keeper and the Mommy-Track Mysteries
"The book is funny, poignant and startlingly real as each woman offers stark and candid glimpses into her different parenting approaches and how they affected the friendship."
Peggy Spear, Contra Costa Times
“You don’t have to be a mother to love (and need) this book. It’s a funny, moving, literate story of surviving the pressures of modern life and still managing to preserve individuality, honesty, artistry and faith in one’s intuition. And it’s an intimate, inspiring portrait of that other treasured female experience – a best friendship.”
Judith Weston, author, The Film Director’s Intuition
"Where's the sequel? i have to know what happens next. I didn't like this book, I loved it! Brave, poignant, I couldn'tput it down. I want all my friends to read it whether they are mothers or not. Even though these women are nutty,they know how to come through for each other. From the first paragraph I was hooked."
Elizabeth Kaye, artist, musician, teacher
“Delightful!
Many mothers will commiserate with the authors’ bare-all mothering journey.”
Sharon Heller, Ph. D., Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight
“Thank heavens for women who are introspective, self-forgiving,and
who know how to reach out to other women with a leg up from guilt.”
Valerie Kack, Ph. D, LCSW, For She is the Tree of Life,
The Emotions Handbook
"Goes where few books have dared, revealing what
happens when intelligent women crash headlong
into the sometimes dogmatic
expectations of motherhood."
Joni Golden, Editor, Michigan Womens Forum
"Zippy and breezy yet trenchant Quirkily profound. Just the right tone to approach the joy and horror of finding out who we are.
Soren Kerk, Performance Artist, inventor Incomprehenditol
It was hilarious, compelling as well as a mirror for all my doubts and concerns as a mother. Thanks for giving a voice to our reality. I read it in a record three days
(a tough thing to do with a three and five year old to mother!). I truly loved it and believe all moms should treat themselves to such a great book (and non-mommies too for that matter!). I hope that you and Linda will write a sequel. It was one of the best Mother's Day gifts I have ever received --thank you from the bottom of my heart! Denise in Ohio
"I loved it! It felt so real. As a woman who had her first child at 36, I can remember the strain
when my friends were having children. So often, I felt pushed out by that "bundle of joy" who kept me from the intimate conversations I once had
shared. It took having my own child to appreciate it."
Lynda Hawkins, Manager Literary Programming
for The Center for Southern Literature, Atlanta, GA
"I want to recommend it to all of my friends and relatives!
It is such a great testimony to the REAL trials of motherhood - That we can have qualms and fears and yet still be good mothers despite (or because of) it. I absolutely love the way it's written, it really draws you in, like you're talking with a good friend."
Erica Keeley, attachment parenting homeschooler,
breastfeeding peer counselor, personal trainer/fitness instructor, molecular biologist
"It really hit a chord with me in soooo many different ways.
I frequently feel like I've given up my 'life' for motherhood and I know my PhD advisor
(and my husband to some extent) is ashamed that I'm a 'mother' and not doing 'real' science.
It was nice to read that I wasn't the only mother to have 'psycho' thoughts -
something I've never admitted to anyone because I figured they would think
I was nuts and take my kids away."
Jennifer Siders, stay-at-home-physicist
