A deeply personal motherhood memoir about how the challenges moms face daily sharpen them into stronger, braver, and better parents for their children.
Motherhood is hard. It's full of plenty of moments where a mom might think, "I don't know if I can do this." Danielle Sherman-Lazar has had this thought many times as she's raised her four young daughters under 10, from her struggles with breastfeeding to two of her daughters' stays at the NICU. Through personal and honest stories on motherhood and her struggles with eating disorders, Mothers Are Made shows how moms aren't instantly born along with their babies--mothers are made through time and experience. It's when mothers go through the fire, Danielle argues, that we are forged into resilient, brave, and courageous parents. Danielle's writing is raw and relatable, and she shows how overcoming challenges with eating disorders, then facing the challenges of perfectionism, self-doubt, anxiety, and loneliness has given her tremendous inner strength, resilience, and confidence. Through real stories full of honesty, love, tenderness, and humor, she reminds her readers that they, too, have the knowledge and tenacity to persevere through any obstacle. Mothers Are Made will help moms realize that they can handle crises as they arise--large or small. And they will recognize that they are not alone in their struggles. Danielle's vulnerability will help readers find the courage to keep going through the uncomfortable parts of motherhood, knowing they'll get to the other side--a better, happier, and stronger mom.Author Biography
