description: Tiffany Palisi, the force behind Loving Essays on Natural Parenthood and Mothering, writes in this second collection of essays about the struggle to make parenting choices heard. Her decision to become a stay-at-home mom resulted from a miscarriage that changed the course of her life, and she examines one of the most basic roles a human can fulfill, motherhood, as the nexus of decisions facing women today. "The truth is," she writes, "something about being a stay-at-home makes the job seem at once both luxurious and trite." These essays chronicle the life that her decision gave her. Through the eyes of one stay-at-home mother, she reestablishes motherhood as rewarding work—even without the 401(k) plans, the company of colleagues, or medical benefits—and expresses her choice not as an interruption in her life, but as a celebration of it.
