Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me: A Novel

A comedy of manners and biology.
Karen Karbo's laugh-out-loud look at the wonders of pregnancy and motherhood is a must-read for all mothers. Here is a world where the women are fierce and strong and the men duck and cover; a world that is turned upside down when the expecting mother turns out a most unexpected child. Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me celebrates the courage and strength of women and the bonds that join them 'in the motherhood.'
