It's a place of loud parenting, fierce loving, too much social media, and occasional inner monologues where timeless debates are resolved such as Pro\/Con: Caving to PTO Bake Sale Pressure (\"PRO: Skim the crappiest brownies for myself. CON: They're really crappy.\") With accessibility and wit, she captures the emotions around parenthood in artful and earnest ways, highlighting this time in the middleamp;mdash;midlife, the middle years of childhood, how women are stuck in the middle of so much. It's a place of elation, exhaustion, and time whipping past at warp speed. Finally, it's a quiet space to consider the girl you were, the mother you are, and the woman you are always becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161505972464,"sku":"2940170384778","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170384778_p0.jpg?v=1763708803","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170384778","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
