Discovering Motherhood: An Extraordinary Journey Through Everyday Life by Annemarie Scobey Discovering Motherhood is a journey without a map - a life-long trip into a new and unfamiliar world. It is a daunting, high-energy trek with ups and downs and bumps in the road. The price of admission is three a.m. feedings, endless diaper changes and lost sleep.
