Real and raw. This book was such a breath of fresh air. Prayers that lead me into honest thoughts and conversations with God about parenting. As a mom of five, this book was so needed! Camille Joy, Mom Influencer Even though the last of my kids are nearly grown and launched, Bunmi's reflections on motherhood have me reminiscing about the feral, restless, in-over-her-head mom in yesterday's sweats I used to be, but with so much more grace and compassion for myself than I knew was possible. This book is a gift to anyone caring for a child. Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and host of the For the Love Podcast
