Mama's World: Essays From The Inside Out
by Tiffany Palisi

Book Description
Tiffany Palisi, the force behind Loving Mama: Essays on Natural Parenthood and Mothering, writes in this second collection of essays about the struggle to make parenting choices heard. Her decision to become a stay-at-home mom resulted from a miscarriage that changed the course of her life, and she examines one of the most basic roles a human can fulfill, motherhood, as the nexus of decisions facing women today.

"The truth is," she writes, "something about being a stay-at-home makes the job seem at once both luxurious and trite." These essays chronicle the life that her decision gave her. Through the eyes of one stay-at-home mother, she reestablishes motherhood as rewarding work-even without the 401(k) plans, the company of colleagues, or medical benefits-and expresses her choice not as an interruption in her life, but as a celebration of it.
