‘Honest . . . funny . . . timely . . . A book for all women.’
—Rani Manicka, bestselling author of The Rice Mother

‘Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.’
—Robert Browning

What Our Mothers Could Have Told Us is a heartfelt memoir of self-discovery through motherhood based on the author’s experience in conceiving, delivering, and raising triplets while working full-time and completing her PhD. If that wasn’t enough, migration was thrown into the picture wherein the family had to, in essence, start over in a new country with a fresh set of challenges.

Being a parent is no easy feat, but a woman’s journey to motherhood begins even before the birth of her child, and this book is an ode to a mother’s selfless love. It showcases a woman’s journey and growth as a mother and how she reinvents herself out of necessity and to remain relevant.

Full of wisdom, this book covers what isn’t necessarily always talked about openly—fertility problems, breastfeeding, and post-partum depression. It also spans the full breadth of motherhood from tackling the struggles of parenting toddlers and teenagers to making a full circle when they eventually fly the coop. Parenting is a unique experience for every individual, but this book will resonate with you and inspire you on your journey of motherhood.
