highly recommended

Having said that, I did find the other parts of her book enlightening, realistic representations of the struggles, triumphs and span of emotion in the first years of motherhood. I will, and have, recommended this book to my family and friends.

Calling All New Mothers

This is the book I desperately needed after the birth of my first child four years ago. Buchanan eloquently, honestly, and
reassuringly captures the roller coaster ride that so many of us experience as we navigate the often bumpy terrain of
new motherhood. Jolted into a life that barely seems our own, we muddle our way through exhaustion, fear, and insecurity afraid to admit our "dark" feelings lest someone should call us ungrateful or unfit. Buchanan poignantly illustrates the ups and downs of new motherhood and in so doing, she gives us all permission to feel along with her--the joy and the sadness, the clarity and the confusion, the fear and the power--and to embrace new motherhood in all of its complexity.
