This book would have been so comforting, just to know I wasn’t alone in the transformation. I hadn’t ‘lost myself’ but instead was finding my footing in a whole new landscape. These bite-sized essays are a gracious gift to moms. If you’re looking for a perfect pick-me-up for a tired momma, The Magic of Motherhood sure fits the bill.”
