In the process of preparing to become a parent
of multiples, there are a great many “how-to”
books that can help guide you. It’s guidance we
are all looking for, but it may start to feel like
all you read are parenting reference books. This
one, written by a writer/novelist, is a refreshing
change, since it is a memoir and reads like a
story. And – something we all can appreciate at
this time - it’s quite funny.
Boston-based author, Jane Roper, tells the tale
of her journey toward becoming a mother of
twin girls in a way to which we can all relate,
from the initial shock of finding out she’s
carrying twins, to the bleary-eyed early days of
parenting them, to the joy and wonder of
watching them grow and develop. She also writes
about the challenges of keeping a writing career
going, and describes the reality of living with
clinical depression and experiencing relapses in
her postpartum days.
