McKinnon's focus on strong connections and quality pieces leaves you inspired to take extra care with your work. Excellent projects and intriguing combinations of techniques.
A friend once described the mother-and-teen-daughter relationship as "two wet cats in a burlap sack". Cannie and her daughter Joy approach this level of livlieness as Joy approaches her Bat Mitzvah and negotiates the ethics of adolescence. In addition, an emotional plot twist left me crying along with the main characters. With my 10-month-old daughter asleep in my lap, I couldn't put the book down for the last hour of reading.
Whether you're new to motherhood, running, or both, Shea and Bowen welcome you into the tribe of running mothers. There is no guilt and no judgement. There are also no excuses why you can't get out the door and get moving, one way or another. Great book, especially if you're looking for motivation to get healthier, lose some baby weight, or feel less isolated from a world that doesn't require regular diaper changes.
