Small Victories

During maternity leave with her second child, television news anchor Molly Grantham started writing weekly Facebook posts about her endless attempts to "keep it all together." Shining an honest-and often funny-light on her own parental struggles was an unexpected transition for this journalist used to reporting on gangs, crime and serious social issues. But the real surprise came in how many people related to her raw takes on parenthood.
From her admittance that changing diapers and endless feedings aren't all they're cracked up to be, to missing her career and "me" time, to discovering the pure joy of watching her children grow, The Off-Camera Life of an On-Camera Mom: Small Victories is a month-by-month progression of one woman's journey through the early years of parenting. In sharing her story with the community, she discovers a wealth of solidarity and strength that happens when you are honest.
