New Review of Literary Mama: Reading for the Maternally Inclined.

Great news on the book! The book is selling strong, and the reviews, so far, have been good. Check out the latest review at BookPleasures.com. Here is an excerpt:

The new print anthology, “Literary Mama: Reading for the Maternally Inclined” – a brilliant case in point – is a “best of” collection from the online journal, which showcases both its “edginess” and superior literary quality. The first of the book’s seven sections, “Creative Acts,” describes attempts (successful and otherwise) to combine the writing life with motherhood. There are two subsequent chapters on gender-specific mothering (“Mothers Raising Women” and “Mothers Raising Men”) followed by a segment entitled “Sex, Fertility, and the Body,” which is obviously the “edgiest” chapter. The longest section and the one I found the most moving is called, “Mothers, Fathers, Parents,” which concerns itself with the dovetailing of parenting past and present. The final two sections titled “Surviving Illness and Loss” and “Healing the Past to Live in the Present” contains literature which focuses on everything from miscarriage to empty nest syndrome.
