“I was bored, angry, tired and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who as far as I could tell wasn’t shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional assholes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to.
But inside, I was growing restless. I was sick of having the same dull conversations about meal plans and kid-friendly holidays. I was frustrated with having the same married sex I’d been having for the past seven years, or not having any sex at all. I didn’t want to be looked at as just a ‘mom’. I wanted to be desired, to make someone’s hair stand on end and go crazy for me. I didn’t want to live by some label that didn’t represent me.
I looked at my messy minivan one morning and I wanted to vomit on it all. I panicked, thinking about how I am slowly approaching middle age and the menopause, and I wondered how many years do I have left of being ‘f**ckable’ before everything starts going downhill?”
Tova Leigh breaks out of the ‘mom box’ in her candid appraisal of marriage, fidelity, sexuality, parenting and body image. She boldly dares to challenge expectations of women in society today, exposes hard truths, demands authenticity and encourages us all to breathe new air and shout HERE I AM.
Buckle up for a white-knuckle ride through the turbulent straits of motherhood and the urgency of an awakening libido. This book is a rallying cry for every woman that has ever felt trapped in a life she didn’t sign up for and can barely recognize.
