This original collection of poems chronicles the author’s experiences as a mother for the first thirteen years of her daughters’ lives. Including poems that are funny, touching and endearing, this collection evokes the many faces of motherhood from the wonder of pregnancy to the pure joy of hearing little voices expressing their innocence to the bittersweet mix of emotions of raising an adolescent. Written in a beautiful, lyrical, accessible style, this is a book for all mothers whether they are anticipating their first pregnancy or watching their granddaughter prepare for her own.
