Surrendering to motherhood

Surrendering to Motherhood is the story of one woman's search for spiritual fulfillment and personal identity that takes us along on her climb higher and higher on the career ladder, which only leaves her feeling emptier and emptier. After coming of age with women's liberation and the sexual revolution, the author finds emancipation at last in the Zen of running a houseful of children. Surrendering to Motherhood is about letting go of the burning need to achieve, and finding your true self in the love and calamity of motherhood. It is not a condemnation of any woman's choice, but rather a book that inspires all women to choose. A powerful and intimate story, this book sends a message to the author's own baby-boom generation programmed to "have it all." Iris Krasnow tells them - and all of us - to stop and savor the moment, rather than constantly trying to reach somewhere higher and better. In this personal sojourn, there is a bounty of universal wisdom.

המשפט הראשון: For as long as I can remember I have been wrestling to find something that would give meaning to my life, something to feed my spiritual hunger, soothe my churning psyche, to ground me in the Now.
