Strength and sacrifice. Toughness and tenderness. Success and struggles. These elements--ever present in the world of sports--are also among the beautiful and challenging dichotomies at the heart of working motherhood.
Tough as a Mother tackles motherhood in a whole new way, bringing all moms up close and personal with some of the biggest names in sports while showcasing the shared strengths--the Tough Mother Tenets--that empower us all.
U.S. Soccer star Alex Morgan; Olympic swimmer Dara Torres; Hall of Fame broadcaster Andrea Kremer; WWE Superstar Becky Lynch; and award-winning journalist, producer, and director Hannah Storm headline an All-Star roster of tough mothers who share insight with readers through candid, vulnerable conversations. They come to you not as famous athletes, TV personalities, or professional movers and shakers but simply as fellow working mothers who share with you their very personal stories and give you a glimpse of some of the real challenges they've faced in their quest to "have it all." These rock star mothers will become your sisters in arms, kindred spirits who know what you're feeling as you try to find a place in the office to pump or step out of a meeting to take a call from a frenzied babysitter.
By turns wry, self-deprecating, heartfelt, and exuberant, this empowering anthology invites readers to destroy the myth of perfection, redefine the concept of balance, and help all mothers feel strong and supported.
