| Summary: | "If there is one thing Karen Johnson has learned through her 15+ years of motherhood, it's this: mothers want to be seen, and they want to know they're not alone. From the early days of swaddling babies and wrangling sticky toddlers, to the bittersweet moment kids head off to college, moms have sought advice and support from other moms in their communities. Moms give all of themselves to their kids, stepping away from personal careers and long-held dreams to stay at home and raise their kids, ensuring their children have the most fulfilling life possible. But it's often not until they become empty-nesters that they start to wonder--what's next? What Do I Want to Be When (They) Grow Up is the perfect book for the moms who find themselves at a crossroads, trying to discern what life has in store for them now that their kids are (mostly) grown up"-- Provided by publisher. |
