Critical Praise

"This book is so brave, so needed. Anne Roiphe digs beneath the paving stones of political rhetoric and unearths the wormy guilts and regrets we modern mothers all harbor. "

—— Gail Sheehy, author of New Passages

"Passionate, lyrical, witty, insightful... It will evoke shudders of recognition from anyone who has cared for a child. "
