Why read it?
1 author picked Life as a mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Motherhood is a gift. But sometimes it doesnāt feel like it. Chantelle, the author, touches on the less pleasant parts of motherhood. I cried 11 pages in because I empathized with a lot of what Chantelle was saying. I think I related to the authorās story so much because she struggled with her own mental health issues throughout her time as a mother. The book touches on postpartum depression (for moms and dads). Yes, dads can have postpartum too!
The book is raw, emotional, and the absolute truth.
From Dawn's list on honest, real life, emotion evoking parents.
