<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A heartfelt and humorous memoir of becoming a mother times two in an up-close and very personal look at Roper's first three years raising twin daughters.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Becoming a mother is rarely what you expect.</i> <p/>Jane Roper never expected she'd have twins--or that they'd be such a spirited twosome. She didn't expect that finding the right balance of work and home would be so tricky. And she certainly didn't expect she'd grapple with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during her daughters' toddler years. But she also didn't anticipate just how much joy, laughter and self-discovery motherhood would bring. <p/>Full of warmth, honesty, occasional advice, and a generous helping of humor, <i>Double Time</i> is a smart and engaging account of the first three years with multiples and a refreshingly candid and vulnerable look at clinical depression. It's a memoir that will resonate countless women--especially those parenting in double time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Raising twins is maddening and masochistic yet worth every crazy moment.
