Two months into the new reality of a worldwide pandemic, death came to collect another soul, not by way of a virus but in the form of a horrific car accident. An event that left one mom's daughter, who was three days short of finishing high school, badly broken and torn, and with a brain injury so severe, that no one gave her any chance of survival. No one freely handed out any encouragement or optimism about the present, let alone the future, and watching her daughter sway between life and death for several weeks should have broken this mom's foundation of faith, but instead it became the catalyst that pushed her into a self-imposed quest to find joy and positivity, something she knew she would need to help her get through the grueling days that viciously waited ahead of her. Through her daily writing, she chronicles the daunting journey of the darkest and toughest emotional and mental walk of her life, but it would in due course bring her the joy she sought after, strengthen her faith, and ultimately get her to the impossible; witnessing the miraculous gains in her daughter's physical and cognitive healing.

“The parenting genre is never going to be the same” (Jancee Dunn, author of How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids) after this candid and hilarious collection of essays on motherhood from the award-winning television comedy writer and producer of 2 Broke Girls and The King of Queens, who swears she loves her kids—when she’s not hiding from them. Some women feel that motherhood is a calling and their purpose on earth. They somehow manage to make pregnancy look effortless, bring out the beauty in a screaming child, and keep the back seat of their cars as spotless as their kitchens. And then there are women like Liz Astrof—who originally had children because “everyone else was.” In this blunt and side-splittingly funny book of essays (previously published as Don’t Wait Up), Liz Astrof embraces the realities of motherhood (and womanhood) that no one ever talks about: like needing to hide from your kids in your closet, your car, or a yoga class on the other side of town, letting them eat candy for dinner because you just can’t deal, to the sheer terror of failing them or at the very least losing them in a mall. And sometimes, many times, wondering if the whole parenting thing wasn’t for you. Perfect for fans of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and I Heart My Little A-Holes, Stay-At-Work Mom is a soul-baring and honest look at parenting and relationships for moms who realize that motherhood doesn’t have to be your entire life—just an amazing part of it.
