Love wisdom motherhood: conversations with inspiring women. Jessica Rowe. 2011.

Each year, every year, new mothers face all sorts of challenges in their mothering - some expected, but many entirely surprising. 

Thinking about balancing children, life, relationships and work, the perennial question women ask is, ‘Can I have it all?” But sometimes the truer question is, ‘Can I get through this?’

With eleven extraordinary women discussing what it means to be a mother, Jessica Rowe reveals the obstacles they encountered along the way; the joys and the heartache, the myths and the realities. Featuring exceptionally honest conversations with these fascinating women - Lisa McCune, Heidi Middleton, Elizabeth Broderick, Wendy Harmer, Collette Dinnigan, Maggie Taberner, Tina Arena, Quentin Bryce, Nova Peris, Gail Kelly, Darcy Bussell and a chapter from Jessica herself - the ultimately joyous and shared nature of the motherhood journey is revealed.
