"Rich is the man whose wife is dead and horse alive"
A great blend of history + the present. Overall, she did a good job at touching on the broad spectrum of race and class that further compounds women's struggles as mothers in the U.S. I think her chapters on the early days of the pandemic were easily the strongest in the book. Her discussion of Mormon mom influences was also good! (She even mentioned the ballerina farm, if you remember that big story that went viral earlier this year!)... Her discussion of mom guilt was the strongest continuous thread in this book. A very humanizing book.
