Just like life itself, there is no graph. No degree. Conditions not conditions that Summohow Splaard makes for the journey that is mother. It is just as unique as the soul that you stick, a role that splits a person in two and in that uniqueness is in common. Sharing the experience of being a mother can be a lifeline if you are in it -even just consider it. Motherhood can also look a million different ways. That is the gift of books.

This collection of maternity books is the range and emphasizes how the role of mother is realized in an instant, but also in a lifetime, with many other relationships in between. So although this list is in no way exhaustive, it lets the conviction open that there is only one right way for mother. Being a mother is being human and more and more in contact with that creative, living power.
