Balancing out your fierce and all-consuming love with the desire to just be left in peace for a few minutes, juggling the pressure to put someone else's needs first with the sense that you're losing your grasp of the person you once were ... it's all too easy to feel confused, angry and, well, lost. Jacqueline Kelly knows how you feel and knows how to help. Her honest, compassionate writing is a soothing balm to anyone going through the heady cocktail of confusion, joy, rage and adoration that is new motherhood.

Reviews

'Honest, tender, and deeply human, this book captures motherhood as it is actually lived. Small and unassuming, it holds powerful truths so many mothers live but rarely feel able to say out loud. Jacqueline writes with a gentle fierceness, holding the beauty and the difficulty of mothering side by side. Reading her words, I felt seen in the love, the exhaustion, the longing, and the deep complexity of becoming a mother. This is a book that understands the duality mothers carry and offers something profoundly rare: the experience of being seen.' Dr Emma Bagnall, Clinical Psychologist, Matrescence Practitioner, Holistic Sleep Coach, and Mom
