“Mom, I don’t want to talk about it.” She leaned back in her chair, shaking her head. “If only you had listened to me. I told you men are scum. No modern woman ties her entire life to one man anymore. You keep them around for two things, their money and their dick. That’s if they even know how to use it well.” I stared at her, appalled. “Mom!” “What?” She shrugged, completely unbothered. “I’m telling the truth. Look at me. A man kept me in this situation. Your father, precisely. Left me with a baby and a whole barrage of responsibilities.”

I can’t help but roll my eyes as my mom looks at me. “That’s why I keep telling Grace she needs to find a decent rich man to wed,” Mom says and Amber can’t help but snort grabbing a cocktail napkin and tapping it over her mouth. “That’s a very reductive vision of women Mrs. Stewart, Grace has a lot more to offer than being a woman, she is an amazing friend, her kindness knows no limits and her charity work is amazing, not to mention she cares about the environment,” Amber says and I squeeze her arm lightly trying to stop her from confronting my mom.

"I've had it with you! Do I look like a pushover, huh?" Unaccustomed to such humiliation, Mom struggled to her feet to teach the women a lesson. But her two fists were no match for so many opponents, and she was ultimately forced back to the floor. The women she had bullied over the years punched and kicked her while she lay there helpless, curled up on the floor, protecting her face as best as she could. She was acting just like I used to. For the first time, Mom was defeated by those women. The series of blows she had suffered left her on the brink of madness—more so than ever.

It needs women who turn their own healing into medicine for others. Remember: flowers don't say sorry for blooming. Neither should you. All my love, Abuela Rosa P.S.—When you find the love that makes you feel like coming home, hold onto it. And when you become a mother—because you will—remember that the best mothers are the ones who turn their own broken places into safe spaces for their children.

And while that is the greatest title in the world, it can also be a lonely one. I wanted to write this book to show that it is okay for your downtime to be something more than just catching up on chores. It is okay for your mind to be creative and adventurous while your hands are busy cleaning up a baby’s mess. I wanted to reach the mothers who don't have much of a social life outside their four walls and tell them: Your imagination is your passport.

For daily life, ordinary moments, the mundane chaos that actually mattered. No more chasing awards. No more proving she could do it all. Just being present. Being enough. Being Mama. That was success. Real success. The kind that actually mattered. Two weeks later, Seraphine finished the final edits on her book in early April. Fifteen essays about working motherhood honest, vulnerable, specific about privilege while acknowledging universal struggles. Rachel loved it. “This is exactly what we needed. Honest conversation about impossible balancing, specific about costs, clear about privilege, universal about challenges. It’ll help so many women.”

All those years, every time the system marked my failures… It was because her software was nothing more than a ridiculous, flawed piece of code. I had tried so hard to do everything right. However, she would rather believe the judgment of a machine than look at me with her own eyes and see whether I had truly tried. To her, every explanation I gave was just proof that I was being lazy. So, again and again, she pushed me closer to my end. "No!" My mom grabbed her hair and screamed. She suddenly rushed forward, trying to smash the phone. "This thing shouldn't exist in the world! It's the source of everything that went wrong. It must be destroyed!"

Something you deployed or withheld depending on what the moment required.
