A collection of honest, tender essays by Latter-day Saint women about the real world of motherhood—far from the pedestals and platitudes. Contributors write about infertility, adoption, blended families, grief, working motherhood, feisty foremothers, and caring for aging parents. Some pieces make you laugh; others break your heart. Rather than idealizing motherhood, these women share their struggles, failures, and small mercies with candor and good humor, reminding readers they are in good company and don't have to be perfect.

  • Antidote to Pinterest-perfect motherhood—honest, funny, and real stories from LDS women
  • Features beloved LDS writers like Claudia Bushman, Carol Lynn Pearson, Louise Plummer, and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
  • Covers the topics no one talks about at church: infertility, adoption loss, working-mom guilt, and hard kids
  • The perfect Mother's Day gift for the mom who's tired of being told she's on a pedestal

Perfect for an LDS mother who feels she's falling short of an impossible ideal and wants honest, funny, faith-affirming company rather than one more parenting how-to.
