Mama Needs a Minute! A Candid, Funny, All-Too-Relatable Comic Memoir about Surviving Motherhood

From Mary Catherine Starr, the artist behind the @momlife_comics Instagram account celebrated by moms all over the world, this deeply funny illustrated memoir captures the chaos, joy, exhaustion, guilt, well-intentioned-but-clueless partners, and infinite loads of laundry that come with being a mom.


Packed with humor, warmth, and all-too-relatable anecdotes, this comic memoirexplores the (often invisible) labor of modern motherhood that leaves so many moms feeling like they are losing themselvesÑand their minds! Whether you're navigating a hellish sleep regression, wiping sweet potato off the walls, seething with spousal resentment (deserved and undeserved), or simply hoping to pee without a toddler watching, this candid and irreverent account perfectly captures what every mom knows in her heart to be true: motherhood is @#$% hard (and also really amazing)!
