Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction

A collection of essays celebrating motherhood—what our mothers said then, what they're saying now. Based on the sensational national performance movement, Listen to Your Mother is an anthology of personal stories about mothers—being one, having one, losing one, and everything in between. In the tradition of Bitch in the House, these essays celebrate and validate what it means to be a mother today. These contributors offer personal stories on topics that range from adoption, assimilation, emptying nests, first-time motherhood, never-motherhood, foster-parenting, infertility, loss, rock-and-roll parenting, single-parenting, LGBTQ parenting, special-needs parenting, step-mothering, surrogacy, mothering through illness, mothering through unsolicited advice—all with wit and humor, in prose as poetic and powerful as it is honest and frank. Their stories go straight to the heart of motherhood.
