MOM-DAD-WTF is the first of a Self-Help series, called Tana White's Books of Purpose, which help apply the Word of God to our everyday life, in a language we can all relate to. As well as a children's book series, called, "Maryah's World," which are Bible stories written for children. My eight-year-old, who is active in the church is helping write that series, so it reflects the actual point of view of how children understand the Word. I believe that God is going to use me in a great way to spread His light in this dark world.

You've been reading everything in sight about what to expect as a new mom --"Should I breastfeed or use formula?"; "Do we vaccinate right away?"; "Oh God, is eating the placenta a thing now?" But what you've been desperately looking for is a guide that tells you what to do to help your partner figure out fatherhood because he's kinda driving you crazy and you need more help. Sure, there are a few books out there by dads, to dads. But you and I both know that dude you had a baby with is not the best at sharing his feelings and seeking help, let alone telling you he's freaked out about fatherhood. Enter The New Mom's Guide to New Dads. Get enlightening, humorous-yet-useful insight into what guys are anxious about and what moms can do to maximize their partner's fatherhood potential. Flat out, more dads need to step up (and when they do, they'll realize how amazing it is to be an involved parent). Andrew Shaw, a father of three young children and an award-winning parenting columnist, is shining a light on what is often holding guys back from being the kind of dad you can shamelessly brag about to friends, as well as help you feel less stress. "If the new father in your life is a mystery in flannel, this book is your answer." Clint Edwards- Bestselling author of "I'm Sorry... Love, Your Husband" and "Silence is a Scary Sound." "Why are dads-to-be so nervous? New moms are so excited to be parents, but for dads it's a mixed bag. These days a lot of dads want to step up and be involved parents, but they still face the same old fears and low expectations dads always have. Luckily, Andrew Shaw has a book "The New Mom's Guide to New Dads," full of humor and tips to help them understand what their partners are going through." Doug Moe- Author, "Man Vs Child" - one of "Amazon's Best Humor Books" "It's a great breakdown for women of what moms can expect from their husbands during the new baby process."

In the tradition of Ali Wong and Amy Schumer comes this whip-smart, spit-out-your-coffee funny guide for new parents—from popular blogger and columnist Jenny True. Plenty of "new parent" guides cover the basics of breastfeeding, bonding, sleep, and "getting back in shape."

Writing as Jenny True on her "Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog" and in the "Dear Jenny" column on Romper, Jenny has been called the "postpartum feelings doula," as she doles out her unique mix of humor, rage, and encouragement (with a smidge of practical advice), including: Birth Hurts: Prenatal yoga is a waste of time. Jabba the Hutt Was Just Postpartum: It explains so much. An Open Letter to People Who Say, "Looks like you have your hands full!" And much more!

Gorgeous, tempting, and entirely out of my league. I just met the man of my dreams, and rode him like a freaking backpack …and God do I wish that was a euphemism. Ever wonder what exactly is in a recipe for disaster? Cause, I’ve got it. All you need is one candy corn loving scaredy-cat, i.e. me. Add thirty of my closest frenemies, throw in a haunted corn maze and a murderous clown, and then sprinkle the whole thing with a dash of embarrassment just to keep things interesting. Get the mix just right and you’ll fall in love… Yeah, or you’ll ride the man of your dreams like a backpack. Literally. I literally rode my dream guy—my tempting, illegally hot, fantasy man—backpack style out of that stupid corn maze. I’m just trying to survive my senior year of college. My only rule: take the path of least resistance. Which was going great until I fell for the hottest man on campus. The one all the girls want. Coach Prescott. Crap. I crave him more than candy corn. Which is a lot. With dark eyes, hard muscles, and a dominant streak a mile wide. There was no resisting him. He wants to know my naughtiest fantasies. That’s easy. I want to be his good girl. His naughty girl. I want him to be my daddy. Sometimes, the dirtiest trick turns into the sweetest treat. Right? Note: Daddy’s Treat is a full-length daddy dom insta-love romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.
Draws on medical case histories, scientific findings, and personal research by the author to separate myth from fact and debunk a vast array of parental edicts.
Rachel thought she was grown up enough to accept that no one is perfect. Her parents argue, her grandmother has been acting strangely, and her best friend doesn't want to talk to her. But none of that could have prepared her to discover Rabbi Cohn--her friend and beloved role model--having an affair in the temple's sanctuary. Now Rachel's trust in the people she loves is shattered, and her newfound cynicism leads to reckless rebellion. Her friends and family hardly recognize her--and worse, she can hardly recognize herself. But how can the adults in her life lecture her about acting with kavanah, intention, when they are constantly making such horribly wrong decisions themselves? This is a witty, honest account of navigating the daunting line between losing innocence and entering adulthood--all while figuring out who you really want to be.
"Becoming Mother" tells the story of a woman becoming a mother. It is a reflective memoir that spans from pregnancy through the end of the first year postpartum. It follows the author as she resists, denies, copes with, and ultimately embraces her identity as a mother. This isn't a guide or a parenting book. Its goal isn't to convert you to one brand of motherhood or another. Instead, its goal is to show you what becoming a mother can be like. Without sarcasm. Without boasting or martyrdom. Just the plain, messy truth of what it's like for one to become two.
