Written in the spirit of "I Don't Know How She Does It," this book hits the heart of the stay-at-work vs. stay-at-home Mom dilemma. The main character, torn between supporting her family financially and having to be away from her son, is real, heart-breakingly honest, and full of emotions any mother can identify with. True to life, the author continuously emphasizes the need for work outside the home to be meaningful and worthwhile for it to be even remotely appealing to mothers who are being taken away from spending meaningful and infinitely worthwhile time with their children. A must-read for any Mom, whether she works outside or inside the home.
