The Mother Dance

FROM THE CELEBRATED AUTHOR OF THE DANCE OF ANGER COMES AN EXTRAORDINARY BOOK ABOUT MOTHERING AND HOW IT TRANSFORMS US -- AND ALL OUR RELATIONSHIPS -- INSIDE AND OUT. WRITTEN FROM HER DUAL PERSPECTIVE AS A PSYCHOLOGIST AND A MOTHER, LERNER BRINGS US DEEPLY PERSONAL TALES THAT RUN THE GAMUT FROM THE HILARIOUS TO THE HEART-WRENCHING. FROM BIRTH OR ADOPTION TO THE EMPTY NEST, THE MOTHER DANCE TEACHES THE BASIC LESSONS OF MOTHERHOOD: THAT WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR CHILDREN, THAT MOST OF WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT DOESN`T HAPPEN, AND THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL LOVE US WITH ALL OUR IMPERFECTIONS IF WE CAN DO THE SAME FOR THEM. HERE IS A GLORIOUSLY WITTY AND MOVING BOOK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO DANCE THE MOTHER DANCE. . , Q . , . , . . Q . : , . , , ! - , , , . ` ' .
