Why I am talking about it?
Sleep, Support and Sanity – A survivor’s guide to motherhood!
If there is something that is as joyous an experience as it is demanding, it is most certainly motherhood. Bringing up a child has never been a simple task and this is even truer in today’s contemporary age. As Charlotte once said in the popular American series, Sex and the City, ‘Being a mother is hard. Oh my God, it is so hard!’
That truly is an understatement.
Sleep, Support and Sanity by bestselling author Rrashima Verma, is every mother’s (in fact, every parent’s) survival guide. Represented by The Book Bakers literary agency and published by Om Books International, the book is a witty, emotional and highly relatable take on motherhood and every related crisis. From personal anecdotes that you will instantly connect with, to experiences that are sure to warm your heart, to practical tips and tricks that will help you tide over all those crazy mum-situations, this is a book that every new-age parent should read.
The battle to get enough sleep, forming a support system that works, coming to terms with your body, achieving work-life balance, getting over those mum-guilt pangs, busting the myth of the “supermom”, bonding with your child, reclaiming loss of self identity, recognizing the importance of mental and physical fitness, Sleep Support and Sanity addresses all this and more! Admittedly, I completed the book in two days simply because I could not put it down. And while I did immediately connect with every chapter in this book, I also found myself laughing out loud as well as my eyes welling up with emotion at situations that only a parent can relate with.
The book has been endorsed and praised by noted paediatricians, leading educationists and renowned corporate honchos. It is available in bookstores and online platforms and is already topping the charts. Do read it coz this is a not-to-be-missed book that should be high up on the TBR of every parent out there!
