520    "A heartfelt, subversively funny memoir and a bold 
       personal manifesto that pushes back against the 
       superficial expectations of motherhood -- and challenges 
       the idea that there's a "right" way to raise kids. With 
       hard-won knowledge gained from having four kids in four 
       years, Kristen Howerton navigates the emotional and 
       sometimes messy waters of motherhood, sharing valuable 
       lessons from her journey through infertility, adoption, 
       pregnancy, toddler tantrums, divorce, and the shock and 
       awe of parenting teens. Howerton recounts how she learned 
       to opt out from the pressure to do it all perfectly. As a 
       mom of both white and black children and a licensed 
       therapist, Howerton talks frankly about the thorny issues 
       parents face today, whether it's finding good mom friends,
       confronting racism, disciplining other people's kids, or 
       falling short of that elusive work/life balance. 
       Howerton's experience--the expectations, the stress, the 
       total lack of control, and yes, the indignities of driving
       a minivan (which now sits in her driveway littered with 
       crushed Cheetos and the remnants of her self-esteem)--
       along with her ability to laugh at herself, reminds 
       parents they are not alone on this unpredictable ride"--
