Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripeworking, stay-at-home, part-timeand found a surprisingly similar trend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was Shrek. As one mom put it, Am I happy? The word that describes me best is challenged. Fresh from the front lines of modern motherhood comes a book that uncovers the guilty secrets of moms today . . . in their own words.
