Recs for (happy) books with MC’s who are mothers?
I’m expecting my first baby and would love some stories with MC’s who are mothers (and enjoy being moms). Specifically where being a mom is a big and important part of their life/story, but isn’t the only thing the book is about. I feel like books involving mothers are either all or nothing—it’s all about motherhood, or we know the character is a mom but it doesn’t visibly affect her or the plot at all.
I was thinking fiction but I love memoirs too!
