Now in paperback, the acclaimed memoir on parenthood that 'takes you into the heart and mind of an ordinary mother…Lauck's funny, irreverent, dead-on stories will strike a chord with anyone who's muddled through the joy and chaos of those first few years' (Hope Edelman, author of MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERS).

Reviewers called Jennifer Lauck''s BLACKBIRD ''a standout debut'' (Newsweek). Kirkus Reviews hailed its sequel, STILL WATERS, as ''a perfectly pitched tale of survival and the courage to move on''. Now this New York Times bestselling writer offers a book that takes readers into the playgrounds and battlegrounds of motherhood. SHOW ME THE WAY consists of funny, moving, ultimately uplifting stories that touch on every aspect of motherhood. In the book, Lauck talks about everything from breastfeeding to opening channels of communication to abuse awareness. She begins by asking: ''Are you going to have kids?'' and offers what she considers the basic stepping stones and essential signposts along the daily journey through motherhood. Lauck charts her own personal growth throughout the parenting process, sharing the sweet and often surprising lessons she has learned from her children. Both motherhood guide and illuminating memoir, SHOW ME THE WAY is destined to be another classic on the art of being a parent today. As familiar and reassuring as sipping coffee with friends around the kitchen table, this is a book no mother should be without.
