Real Mothers. Real Careers. Real Conflict. Striking the right balance between career and motherhood is
one of the most stressful, heart-wrenching tasks facing
women today. In Torn, forty-six women examine the conflict
between the need to nurture and the need to work, and reveal
creative solutions for having the best of both worlds. The
stories in the collection offer hope and inspiration, but
they also reveal the messy realities of modern motherhood
and life's inevitable crises, both small and large: from
breast pump mishaps to battles with cancer; diaper blowouts
to debilitating depression; competitive cupcake baking to
coming home from war. In the end, the reader can take
comfort in the knowledge that there is no perfect mother;
nor is there a perfect balance when it comes to kids and
career. The real challenge facing women today is not
juggling their many roles, but realigning their expectations
of what is possible and accepting that success does not
equal "doing it all."
