批評家のレビュー
“Having it all doesn't mean doing it all. It's essential to understand that we don't have to navigate this journey of parenthood alone. Melissa Wirt addresses this significant struggle we have as parents — American society making it impossible to have a village—and offers a guide on how to create connection in this context.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times Bestselling author of Fair Play
あらすじ・解説
Pushing back against a system which feels designed to keep parents isolated and exhausted, Latched Mama founder, Melissa Wirt shows moms how to build a supportive “village” to bring joy and connection back to motherhood.
Melissa Wirt thought she had everything—she'd built her own company and lived on a beautiful farm with her family. Then, during a time of difficulty, she began shutting down. Her pain came with a realization: she’d become utterly isolated. Despite having created an online community reaching over one million moms, she still felt adrift. Upon closer investigation, however, she saw she was not alone: moms are overwhelmed, exhausted, and in many cases, terribly lonely.
It may be that our culture and government have dropped the ball in supporting us, but in that vacuum exists a resource within reach: each other. In I Was Told There'd be a Village, Melissa describes how she began making small changes—leaving behind a damaging Isolation mindset and adopting a Village mindset. Using personal anecdotes and stories from moms across the country, her book provides specific, actionable steps to transform oppressive, solitary parenting into a connected, collective (even joyful) endeavor. Motherhood can and should come with emotional support, and this book shows how to find that—by building back the community we’ve lost and joining one another along the way.
