Book excerpt: Most mothers don't have time for long conversations. They want them, and crave them, but they are constantly interrupted by kids, partners, work and the day-to-day details of our lives. This remarkable collection of original essays explores what is unspoken or lost in those interrupted conversations. Provocative, funny and honest, the stories focus on the transformation involved in becoming a mother and the impact it has on our identity, ambition and relationships. It is, without a doubt, a conversation worth having. "Written by mothers for mothers, this book is full of essays that will have readers laughing out loud, crying in sympathy and nodding their heads in recognition - but only if they are mothers themselves." -Quill and Quire"If you are looking for some fine, intelligent writing about grace, passion and joy in the face of fatigue, disorientation and sore nipples, Between Interruptions is an excellent place to start. Most of the essays in [the book] burn brightly; it is remarkable that some of them have not reduced the pages to ash." - Globe and Mail
