MotherMorphosis: Vignettes about the Transformation Into and Within Motherhood [Paperback]

Caroline B. Poser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2, 2006

MotherMorphosis is the poignant story of a thirty-something professional woman’s baptism by fire into motherhood. You'll laugh and you’ll cry as you identify with the joys and challenges of becoming a mom — from the wonder of beholding a tiny new being to the awe of having said tiny new being dependent on you 24/7 — and seeking that elusive balance among the myriad roles a mommy must fulfill. And just when the author thought she had it all figured out, baby #2 arrived on the scene.

About the Author

Caroline Poser is the mother of three sons, ages 6, 4, and 9 months. MotherMorphosis chronicles her first two and a half years of motherhood, when Ms. Poser was juggling a work-at-home career as a technology writer with the brand-new role of mommy to two under two.

Today Ms. Poser is employed in corporate America as a technology sales professional and is writing another book called Snakes, Snails, and Puppy-dog Tales.

This review is from: MotherMorphosis: Vignettes about the Transformation Into and Within Motherhood (Paperback)

While reading this book, it's like I was having a conversation with Caroline or listening to her re-tell stories about my own transformation from non-Mom to new Mom. I so enjoyed reading it; heart, humor, sensibility. For the bubble bath, on the exercise bike, a book club - I loved it, you will too!

This review is from: MotherMorphosis: Vignettes about the Transformation Into and Within Motherhood (Paperback)

This book is so easy to read, I don't have a lot of time to read with 4 small children and one teenager but I just flied through this. It has bite size pieces to read so you don't get lost by all the interruptions. It is a very validating, true to life, touching account of becoming a mother. Would be great for an expectant mom or for an already mom for mother's day or any other occassion. It will make you laugh, cry and sigh. Her site at MotherMorphosis.com is also fun, lots of great stories and pictures. Don't miss out on this one!
