When girlfriends Stephanie Triplett and Sara Ellington realized that they were both pregnant and their babies were due just weeks apart, they began e-mailing each other constantly. Throughout their individual journeys, both women discovered many aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and especially motherhood that no one ever seemed to talk about. Stephanie and Sara had both read every book on these subjects they could find so why weren’t they prepared for the roller-coaster ride they were about to embark on? Why hadn’t anyone ever given then the real truth about being a Mommy before?! The Mommy Chronicles is a warm, candid, and sometimes irreverent view into the lives and emotions of these two new mothers. In intimate and often hilarious detail, the authors share their own diverse-and universal-experiences as they progress from being pregnant…to being parents. Listen in on their conversations as they laugh, cry, rage, and celebrate. Labor and delivery, postpartum depression, career choices, daycare dilemmas, husbands who don't get it - it's all here, presented in an entertaining, easy-to-read format.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Vine Award in Non-Fiction "A comedy for catastrophic times." --CBC "A hilarious memoir of effervescent misadventures." --Toronto Star "How am I laughing at someone's mother's cancer? How? We think we can't laugh about death, about cancer, about our mothers and their suffering . . . and we can't, but we can. And there's so much relief in that." --Carolyn Taylor, BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW A whip-smart and darkly funny memoir about an unconventional family, the limits of wellness fads, and the mother of all catastrophes. Rachel Matlow’s eccentric mom, Elaine, never quite followed the script handed down to her. Her bold out-there-ness made it okay for Rachel to be their genderqueer self and live life on their own terms. But when Elaine decides to try to heal her cancer naturally, Rachel has to draw the line. What ensues is a tug of war between logical and magical thinking, an odyssey through New Age remedies ranging from herbal tinctures and juice cleanses to a countryside ayahuasca trip, and a portrait of a mother and child who’ve never been physically closer or ideologically further apart. In facing their inimitable mother’s death, Rachel has written a book bursting with life—the epic adventures and epic fails, the broken limbs and belly laughs. As hilarious as it is poignant, Dead Mom Walking is about writing the story of your life only to find out that life has other plans.
