Motherhood: Vintage Minis

Welcome to motherhood ?

€“ a land of aching fatigue, constant self-sacrifice and thankless servitude, a land of bottomless devotion, small hands and feet like warm pink roses, and velvet kisses.

Here is a land where men and women, once carefree and engrossed in work and sex, now try to solve age-old arguments and search fruitlessly for another hour in the day.

Perhaps you know this land well, or perhaps you?

€™re entering it for the first time ?

€“ either way, you need these honest, sharply funny, humane stories from an expert guide.
