When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees, by Shalene Roberts
Summary
<p>Today, Roberta talks to Shalene Roberts about her new book When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees: Where Gritty Meets Glorious in God’s Eternal Plan for Moms, available from Whitaker House publishers.</p><p>Several years ago, Shalene Roberts sat with her two young children under the age of three, wrestling with thoughts about motherhood and wondering why it was so desperately hard. Pulling out her phone, she poured out her thoughts in a blog post entitled “When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees.” Unexpectedly, those honest musings went viral, and that heartfelt post has had more than 630,000 views.</p><p>Now a mother of five, Shalene understands that women everywhere struggle with the all-consuming service of motherhood―feeling unseen and underappreciated. Even those whose motherhood ride has been fairly smooth may wonder if what they’re doing is making any difference. The words in Shalene’s post gave voice to these questions. And it was out of that post that this book was born.</p><p><em>Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.
