Summary

She is the employed mom who feels criticized and judged for not being home with her kids. She is the at-home mom who feels devalued by a society that defines success in terms of careers and paychecks. She is a mother of faith and principle whose parenting choices are under fire. She is any woman struggling to meet the often conflicting needs of her family, her children, her work, and herself.
This revealing and informative report captures the conflicts and emotions of women on the front lines of the "mommy wars." Through scores of stories and interviews, Deborah Lewis and Charmaine Yoest give voice to millions of modern women like you who long for a sense of personal peace.
Mother in the Middle offers a thoughtful policy agenda for reframing society's attitude toward mothers. By equipping readers with crucial information they're not getting anywhere else, it provides a practical survival guide for 21st century moms that will affirm their basic instincts as women and challenge them to embrace a new vision of radical motherhood.
