About the Book
A provocative exploration of purpose under the weight of motherhood
Elly Sparrow's four small children are clean and cute, and her workaholic husband is a good provider, but she often feels as if her life has been whittled down to two defining titles: mother and wife. She yearns for something more, but what?
When her marriage begins to crumble and her husband moves out, Elly must navigate the challenges of single motherhood while confronting deeper turmoil within herself. As she balances the demands of everyday life, she embarks on a transformative--and at times daring--journey to redefine her purpose and learn to live on her own terms.
Set in the 1980s, Rules for Mothers is a poignant depiction of the enduring complexities of gender roles, motherhood, and mental health. Elly's struggles and discoveries paint a picture of the importance of self-fulfillment and the battle women must wage to build a life that works for them--rather than one that is rooted in the needs of others.
