“Purple Leaves, Red Cherries: A Gift for Mothers with Short Stories, Journal & Toolkit.” The book reveals how becoming a mother impacts women’s lives and
provides tools to help women cope with the complexities of motherhood. Purple Leaves, Red Cherries is upfront, honest and beautifully illustrated.
It makes an ideal gift for new moms and mothers of young children. The book includes:

. 48 inspiring and thought-provoking short stories, which document how motherhood affects women’s relationships, work, expectations, sex lives and
more.

. Beautiful and guided journaling space to encourage women to write down their own stories of motherhood.

. A Mothers’ Toolkit with practical suggestions and self-development exercises.

. Stunning illustrations throughout.

This book was really fun for me to read because I have 3 kids 4 and under, so I was able to relate to a lot of these women’s stories. I like how the stories are short and under categories. I felt like I was sitting with a group of friends and everyone was sharing their own experiences. And after each section was a space for me to write my own experience! The stories are very diverse and I really feel it grasps all the different emotions new mothers can feel. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one to feel a certain way sometimes. Overall the book is very encouraging and makes you think about yourself and your life and how you have changed as a person, but what still makes you special. This is a perfect gift idea for a new mother.

You can buy directly from the publisher for $25.00 or it is also available on Amazon.com for $28.95.
