Publishers Weekly

“
Weaving into the account her own alternately funny and touching motherhood anecdotes, Berget makes a strong case for eschewing reductive framings of God as a “dominant, masculine deity” for a more holistic notion that centers love, protection, and creation. This will be a balm for new and experienced moms alike.
