<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One woman's quest to make something of herself. During nap time.</p><p>Me: Mother, wife and writer watching forty climb the front steps like a peddler pushing time, and me with nowhere to hide. </p><p> The writer part used to come first, the forty used to be thirty, and marriage and motherhood were abstract activities I thought I'd try someday. Ah, growing up. If only it was the thrill promised when we were six.</p><p> I have written hundreds of articles and essays that have been published. I have written a book that has not been published. It has been rejected. Repeatedly. Eventually, I set the whole stupid manuscript on fire. Did that stop me on this preposterous quest to publish a book? No. All I want in the whole wide world besides being a good mother to my two tiny daughters is to be an author. </p><p> But writing is hard. And the publishing industry is a beast. And I am terrified of failure. And most of my days are spent trapped under a pile of plastic princesses or scraping peanut butter off of the wall.</p><p> Will I pull this author thing off? Or will I ditch writing, adopt a Xanax habit, abandon my own identity and live the rest of my life vicariously through my children? </p><p> Hmm, let's find out.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Laurie Halter, host of the podcast Carearing: </p><p>"I love your book! I went in expecting a book about how hard it is to work when your kids are young, but it's so much more. It's really a book about hope and heartache and wonder and love and all of the things that make motherhood beautiful. I think you are the perfect guest to have on the show for our Mother's Day edition! I can't wait to have you on. Your book is a GEM!!!!" </p><br>
