Book Review: Dear Mom: A Mother’s Story by Dannica Contreras
I read this book cover to cover in one sitting, and it filled my heart to overflowing.
Here’s the ironic part: this book is written for overwhelmed new moms—and I am very much not one. I almost deleted it from my Kindle. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Instead, I mentally swapped “mom” for “caregiver,” and suddenly it felt like this book had been written directly to me.
I laughed. I cried. I paused more than once because it hit something tender and real. The humor landed, the emotion felt earned, and the reminders about self-love and self-care didn’t feel preachy or unrealistic. They felt human.
What surprised me most was how much it helped me rethink how I want to care for myself going forward. Not in a grand, Pinterest-perfect way—but in small, doable, compassionate ways that actually fit real life.
This book met me exactly where I am right now. It checked every box I didn’t even realize I needed checked.
If you’re a new mom, this book will feel like a warm hug and a deep exhale.
And if you’re overwhelmed, burned out, or caring for someone else and quietly running on empty? Don’t skip it. You might find, like I did, that it speaks to you too—loudly, gently, and at exactly the right time.

"Dear Mom" is the perfect reminder that motherhood isn’t about getting everything right — it’s about leading with love. Dannica Contreras offers a refreshing, honest take on the beautiful (and often chaotic) journey of raising tiny humans. Filled with laughs, heartfelt advice, and creative activities, this book is a much-needed dose of encouragement for any mom — especially for those moments when self-doubt creeps in (because let’s be real, it always does). A wonderful gift for new moms, seasoned moms, or any woman who just needs a reminder that perfection was never the goal — love was.
