Book Description
Dear Mama, Once a baby is born, so much of the focus and energy turns toward them. It's natural for all the books and chatter to be about the baby. But, Mama, this book is all about YOU. You matter, too, and these words are my love letter to you. I want you to know: Hard is normal (but that doesn't mean it's any less hard). Perfection is a myth (and it's a dangerous one). You matter (big time). You are not alone (we're all in the same boat). I hope you find comfort and relief in that what you're experiencing in this transition is actually pretty darn "normal." Hard, but normal. One big reason it's hard, perhaps the most misunderstood and unacknowledged reason, is new parents are in the process of becoming something new! The magazines and dominant culture narrative love to talk about when we're going "back." Getting our body back. Getting our life back. Back to our old selves. This idea implies that we're just ourselves but with a baby in tow. As if a baby just fits into this carved out little corner of our lives and everything goes on pretty much as normal. This is an absolutely absurd notion, and I think it's actually hurting us. Imagine how differently you'd think about your postpartum and transition to parenthood if our cultural story was about reinvention and redefinition of ourselves, rather than going back. This book serves to give you some new and different tools, resources, and ideas for your difficult journey of parenthood and reduce feelings of fear, shame, or guilt. My hope is, after reading these words you'll feel more loved, more valued, and know you are enough. There is nothing I say in this book that I say with greater conviction and certainty than this: you are worthy of love, grace, and compassion, and you are enough. With love, Amanda

Book Description
Dear Mama is a book of letters about mothers who made countless mistakes. As you read each letter, you will learn about their challenges as women, mothers, and children of God and how they found hope in His Word. Through their trials, these mothers found they could lean on God whose grace and mercy changed their lives. In reading Dear Mama, you will learn that we all mess up and that God cleans up our messes and turns them into the most beautiful messages when we give the job to Him. An ExcerptDeath and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. - Proverbs 18:21I know you have heard the saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." If you haven't, keep living, and you will. Perhaps you've said it, but do you believe it? If so, I want you to know that sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts. As you can see, the scriptures explain that the tongue can be a weapon to destroy a person or encourage a person. Building words can instruct, improve, build up, edify, affirm, or promote growth. In contrast, critical words judge and find fault. They tear down, beat up, and focus on defects and inadequacies.
