The Importance of Teachers, Friends and Readers

Just wanted to leave a little note to say how happy I am to be a Goodreads author and how excited I am to connect with other readers and writers. I am also thrilled to announce that I am working on a new novel. It's called The Closest Marriage, and it's about a marriage that dissolves because the husband joins a yoga cult.

Quotes by Jessica Grose (?)

“The ideals as they are created now serve almost no one. They may serve industry, but they do not serve us or our families.”
― Jessica Grose, Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood

1 likes

“Anytime you feel guilty about not meeting some sort of insane, unachievable demand, ask yourself: Does this help me improve my relationship with my children? And does this help my community? If the answer is neither, push back. Refuse to feel the guilt and failure that plague so many of us when we are just trying to raise our families under this broken system. Instead, use that energy to fuel something different: the possibility of a more humane and supportive future for our children.”
― Jessica Grose, Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood

― Jessica Grose, Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood
