It's a place of loud parenting, fierce loving, too much social media, and occasional inner monologues where timeless debates are resolved such as Pro\/Con: Caving to PTO Bake Sale Pressure (\"PRO: Skim the crappiest brownies for myself. CON: They're really crappy.\") With accessibility and wit, she captures the emotions around parenthood in artful and earnest ways, highlighting this time in the middle--midlife, the middle years of childhood, how women are stuck in the middle of so much. It's a place of elation, exhaustion, and time whipping past at warp speed. Finally, it's a quiet space to consider the girl you were, the mother you are, and the woman you are always becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Harrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062838741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062838742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2018 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018","brand":"Kimberly Harrington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987248218367,"sku":"9780062838742","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb71868b-076f-4992-aceb-f129f07a8afb.jpg?v=1683287847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amateur-hour-kimberly-harrington-9780062838742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
