Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards (Commentary from Reviewers): “The voice and writing style is truly where this book (On Motherhood) shines. The author shows a mastery over her prose. The voice feels effortless and fun, making it clear that writing itself is a joy for the author. The language is often flowery, which works wonderfully given the topics of most essays. The author often finds deep emotion in the mundane events of everyday life, and the language brings the reader right there with her.”

“As I mentioned previously, the author’s voice is by far the standout of this book (On Motherhood). Anyone who has a fondness for well-constructed phrases and humorous witticisms will certainly be drawn in by that alone. Additionally, the narrator is a fun character to follow through the essays. While she suffers from numerous worries both big and small, she manages to find meaning in many aspects of life that others often overlook. Overall, her prose is a joy to read, whether you’re looking for someone to identify with, a new way of looking at life, or just a good show of literary skill.”

10 Field-Tested Tips to Navigate the First Year

Deliverance is a wildly amusing, in-the-trenches sort of guidebook to surviving Hell Week with twins—only Hell Week lasts for an entire year—the point at which most parents of multiples can finally come up for air. In a word, it is a candid and hilarious tale of survival—one that provides both advice and amusement for parents in desperate need of salvation (or sedatives). Quite literally, it is an essential field guide for those managing the madness of caring for two babies at once—a book that can be read in the thick of raising children, with its bite-sized chapters and undeniable readability.

As one mom put it, “Deliverance should be mandatory reading for all prospective parents of multiples.”

Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards (Commentary from Reviewers): “Reading the book (Deliverance) felt like listening to a good friend share her experiences! The author’s humor, frankness, vulnerability, and candor make it a quick and engaging read. Humor is an especial strength; some parts are literally laugh-out-loud funny. The stories are sure to resonate with parents and give expectant parents an idea of what to prepare for. The quiz at the end is a nice touch.”
