Songs of a Sistermom: Motherhood Poems

A soulful and heartfelt look into the symphony of motherhood through the prism of one woman’s journey, this collection of accessible poetry is an inspiring and humorous celebration of the African American mother and her experience. Inspired by the author’s own experiences, along with her association in a local support group for African American mothers and their families, the poems are textural and insightful without being too complex. The collection follows the four phases of motherhood over time: love; pregnancy, childbirth, and new motherhood; the ups and downs and craziness of motherhood; and motherhood musings about greater life lessons.
