Opis

Share the triumphs, tragedies, losses and love of Midlife Mothers - women choosing motherhood over age 40 for the first, repeat or last time. The Zen of Midlife Mothering celebrates the heartbreak and glory of new midlife mothers, and of those standing firmly in place as mothers now in mid-life. In this increasingly popular trend of new older parenting, these women do not share a collective consciousness like many of their younger counterparts, but rather a rainbow of disparate and diverse voices representing a vast array of ages, life circumstances and personal perspectives. This book features the depth, breadth and beauty of well-known and established midlife mother-writers, up-and-coming writers, and those just finding their voice(s). We include a handful of fathers as a nod to this increasingly popular trend of "Mr. Moms," and those choosing fatherhood at an age previously enjoyed during retirement. In the end, the perseverance, conviction, willpower, guidance, determination and a breaking down of all obstacles - financial, spiritual, emotional, physical and psychological - just to become mothers, prevails - all in the name of motherhood, family and love.
