Thank you to Brilliance Publishing for this ALC. Hadley Leggett’s debut novel is a deeply moving story of motherhood that centers 3 very different women. Hannah has lost her husband and made some questionable choices. Julie has gone through a recent break up and longs to be a mother, so she pursues foster parenting. And Elaine is Hannah’s not so emotionally healthy mother and a powerhouse, work focused lawyer. 

When events and circumstances drive these women together and apart, almost simultaneously, Leggett creates a deeply relatable story of what motherhood demands from us and what it really takes to be a “good mom.” Love, love, love. This is perfect for fans of Laurie Frankel.
