Review title: Motherhood doesn't have to be this way!
Product review: I'd give Faulkner Fox's book 2 stars as an honest account of one cynical, depressed woman's struggle to deal with motherhood. However, this book is being marketed as a book that "every pregnant or planning-to-be-pregnant woman with a modicum of ambition would do well to read," and as such I'd give it ZERO stars. Fox is full of anger and resentment, and she had such unrealistic expectations of motherhood that it's no wonder she was disappointed. Her story is painful to read. She was depressed before, during, and after the arrival of her husband and children. As Fox herself said in her analysis of Sylvia Plath: "Motherhood hadn't cured her. Perhaps it exacerbated what ailed her. It certianly hadn't make her into something other than what she was before." Don't belive the marketing hype--Fox's story does not represent every woman's experience, and I would NOT recommend this book for a new mother.
