Mother's Day is coming up, and in addition to taking our moms to brunch or dinner (or being taken out by our own children) it's a good time to explore the joys and complexities of motherhood with an engrossing book. The WPL has books that address all kinds of topics related to motherhood, including adoption, balancing family life and career, being a lesbian mom, growing up American with a mom from a different culture, caring for aging moms, working to get your kid the best education possible, surrogacy, and more.
Here are a few books about motherhood and the experiences of individual moms - experiences that may be unique or that you may recognize from your own life.
If any of these books interest you, place a hold in the catalog to reserve it or call the Reference Department at (508)-799-1655 ext. 3.
