In an era of mommy blogs, Pinterest, and Facebook, The Good Mother Myth dismantles the social media-fed notion of what it means to be a “good mother.” This collection of essays takes a realistic look at motherhood and provides a platform for real voices and raw stories, each adding to the narrative of motherhood we don’t tend to see in the headlines or on the news.
From tales of mind-bending, panic-inducing overwhelm to a reflection on using weed instead of wine to deal with the terrible twos, the honesty of the essays creates a community of mothers who refuse to feel like they’re in competition with others, or with the notion of the ideal mom–they’re just trying to find a way to make it work.
With a foreword by Christy Turlington Burns and a contributor list that includes Jessica Valenti, Sharon Lerner, Soraya Chemaly, Amber Dusick and many more, this remarkable collection seeks to debunk the myth and offer some honesty about what it means to be a mother.

Aussiebookworm Review This novel is a must for any expectant Mothers!
The Good Mother Myth….. I loved it! As I began to read the Good Mother Myth, I was in .. hook, line and sinker
great read! I’m a stay at home mother of four. Basic, married, healthy kids, middle class, etc. I wondered if I would be able to relate to the stories inside, as the writers of the essays are a diverse crowd. I could, and I loved this book! More than once, I felt myself nodding along with the stories. This isn’t my normal genre of books, so I can’t compare it to others in this category, but I found it a wonderful read and perfect for this time of year, when we reflect on our lives and choices – you know, new year/new you stuff.
