Description: "At home, you play the important role of "Mom," nurturing and caring for your child. At your job, you work hard to gain recognition and earn respect. While focusing on your child and your career can seem overwhelming, it is possible to do both well and not lose your mind. Inside, a panel of experts--HR executives, pediatricians, clinical therapists, certified midwives, and real working moms--share advice that will help you weather times when you're feeling exhausted, frustrated, or doubtful of your ability to 'do it all'."--Page 4 of cover.
