Description
A candid and propulsive take on motherhood, "The Motherload" turns the traditional narrative on its head. Sarah Hoover's memoir dares to ask what happens when the idealized experience of motherhood is replaced by a reality of rage, anguish, and a total surrender of identity. Growing up, Hoover imagined a certain life for herself, but when she became pregnant, everything began to unravel. She felt like an imposter in her own body, and her world was turned upside down. With no joy in the experience of motherhood, Hoover struggled to cope, feeling anxious, fearful, and guilty. Her despair was persistent, even with help, therapy, and medication. This unflinching memoir is a raw and honest exploration of the complexities of motherhood, one that challenges the conventional narrative and offers a refreshingly candid look at the realities of this life-changing experience.
