Not The Way You Expect: A Collection of Words on Motherhood

Available from DIGS when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

An anthology of words from 19 writers around the topic of motherhood. It’s nearly impossible to feel nothing about motherhood. Each of us comes from a mother, in fact. We adore them, we resent them, we miss them, we are them. This book of poems, prose, and short stories is a collection of words on all shades of motherhood. The wonderful, the painful, and everything between. Motherhood isn’t a monolith, after all. And it’s almost never what you expect. Editors: Beth Ables and Angie Toole Thompson
