Choosing Motherhood -- by S.S. Eaton | Airlift

Nobody Told You It Would Be This Hard. Nobody Told You It Would Be This Holy.

Motherhood is pregnancy and childbirth, late nights and scraped knees. It's also miscarriage and loss, adoption and fostering, endurance and separation and love that outlasts everything. It is, in a word, everything.

Choosing Motherhood is a collection of stories that tells the truth about all of it—without flinching, without romanticizing, and without losing sight of the profound, eternal significance of what mothers do.

These stories explore the full landscape of motherhood:

• The hard work and the heartbreak that no one warns you about
• Faith that deepens through the troubles of life, not despite them
• Lasting relationships and the "fertility of heart" it takes to love your own children—and others' too
• Pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, adoption, fostering, separation, loss, and death—all held within a wondrous eternal plan

"Burnt toast is fairly symbolic of motherhood. If you are the one who burned the toast, you scrape it off and eat it yourself. If they burned it, you eat it because they burned it specially for you."
— Emily Watts

When you choose motherhood, you choose a noble journey. You also choose to smile while eating burnt toast. This book is for every woman who knows exactly what that means.
