Motherhood can be a relentless, isolating journey that often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. The unspoken challenges of this critical role leave many mothers feeling overworked and undervalued. Author Rebecca Pierce is here to explore this complex issue in her debut book, "Without a Village."
In a world where societal pressures and the cost of living continue to rise, mothers often find themselves at the center of a storm, struggling to maintain their sanity while fulfilling the expectations placed upon them. The romanticized image of a mother who can effortlessly do it all is a myth that has stripped women of their hard-earned achievements and self-worth.
But why is motherhood demanding such a high price?
Rebecca Pierce takes a deep dive into the history of motherhood, exposing the origins of this dilemma and the transformation of motherhood's expectations that have led modern mothers to the brink of burnout.

By examining history, sharing real-life stories, and providing practical insights, "Without a Village" uncovers the realities of motherhood that many are hesitant to discuss.
Readers will discover strategies to encourage their partners to share the physical and mental workload, understand the pivotal role of confidence in successful parenting, and learn how to incorporate self-care into their daily routines to preserve their sanity.
