Raw. Unfiltered. Beautiful. This book just like her last is a space for women to feel seen for their incredible efforts in motherhood and never alone. She traces every overlooked circumstance and emotion in motherhood. I can say I appreciate every mother in my life a little more because of Motherhood Space. I can’t wait to save this for when my time comes.
