Synopses & Reviews
The hardcover edition of Iris Krasnow's provocative memoir struck a chord with women across the country trying to balance their personal and professional lives. Her story, as she shared it with audiences of The Oprah Winfrey Show, All Things Considered, and others, drew sympathetic responses from women everywhere.
As her memoir unfolds, Iris Krasnow has everything: a fit body, suave boyfriends, and a glamorous job. Yet, a relentless angst gnaws at her. How could everything feel like nothing? Ironically, it took the chaos of motherhood for Krasnow to find peace. By age thirty nine, she was the mother of four sons, ages three and under, and had moved beyond the self-analysis that had forever plagued her.
Surrendering to Motherhood is about letting go of the need to achieve and finding your true self. A powerful story with a happy ending, this book flashes an important message to Krasnow's own generation of baby-boomers programmed to strive for the bigger and better: you might be surprised to find how much more fulfillment the littler things bring.
