Summary

[How to Be Mother] is a profound meditation on the transformative journey of motherhood, told with raw honesty and lyrical grace. Through fifteen interconnected chapters that read like intimate conversations, this book explores the invisible threads that weave together the universal experience of becoming and being a mother. Written in crystalline prose that captures both the mundane and the transcendent moments of motherhood, it delves into the alchemy of how we transform through love, vulnerability, and the endless dance of giving and receiving. The narrative unfolds like a spiral, returning to themes of presence, intuition, and connection with deeper understanding each time, showing how motherhood isn't a destination but a continuous unfolding of the self. What sets this book apart is its unflinching examination of the contradictions inherent in motherhood - how we can be both exhausted and alert, lost and exactly where we need to be, broken and more whole than ever - while illuminating the profound wisdom that emerges from embracing these paradoxes.
