As a mom, have you ever said to yourself ... Nobody told me it would be like this or I'm not the kind of mom I thought I'd be or How do I get my life back?

In Me, Motherhood, and a Wise Woman, Julie, a mother of three, seeks advice on these concerns and many others, from Patrece, an older wise woman. In this memoir of short conversations, a younger woman learns, in the presence of an older woman, how to trust her inner wisdom.

Praise for the first edition:

"I have highlighted multiple pages so that on the days when I'm frazzled, I can pick up your book and read some lines from it to decompress."

–Jessica, mom & blogger

"It can be difficult being a single mom with no one to bounce things off of, and your book has really reinforced the need to trust in myself and my judgment."

–Shannon, mom & nurse

"I truly enjoyed everything that was in the book and plan to keep it so I can refer to it when I go through my moments of motherhood, to remind myself to relax."

–Lynn, mom & high school teacher

"I'm not a mom, but my sister is. I read this book and immediately bought one for her. Here's the funny part: I learned from the book, too. You don't have to be a mom to laugh along with the wisdom of this book."

–Ellyn, aunt & business owner

"I loved every bit! It couldn't have come at a better time, and I am sooo glad I read it."

–Ericka, mom & sales professional
