Great read

I have been reading "Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor calamities and Occasional Moments of Grace", by Ayelet Waldman. I saw a review of this book about year ago and have been waiting for it to be availalbe at our library. I hit the jackpot about a week ago. I have dogeared a number of pages that I will reflect on in a later post. It is one of those "real books" on motherhood and relationships. Ayelet bravely tells her story about struggling to be a mom who prefers to work and letting her husband be the stay at home parent.

I added it to my to-read list and am looking forward to more of your thoughts on it.

Would you consider adding a review on Worldcat for other library patrons? http://www.worldcat.org/title/bad-mother-a-chronicle-of-maternal-crimes-minor-calamities-and-occasional-moments-of-grace/oclc/244246678

Book recommendations rule! thanks!

Of course Stacy! I will need to collect my thoughts so the comments don't seem rambling . . . Just finished a heartbreaking chapter on losing a baby.
