Not The Way You Expect: A Collection of Words on Motherhood box set 2 celebrates the growing seasonAn anthology of words from 19 writers around the topic of motherhood. Its 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 isnt a monolith, after all. And its almost never what you expect.
