Written from her dual perspective as psychologist and parent, Dr. Harriet Lerner puts the spotlight on how a woman changes when she becomes a mother. Enlivened with personal tales and vivid case studies, her fascinating book shows readers why a woman's life is so different from her partner's, and how children inevitably help everyone discover things about themselves that they would otherwise never know. Demonstrating how kids are the best teachers of life's most profound spiritual lessons, The Mother Dance brims with wit and practical advice.
