Baby Steps (Kindle Single)

Baby Steps (Kindle Single)

Mara Altman, author of the number-one Kindle Singles bestseller â€œBearded Lady,â€ turns to the topic of motherhood with touching and uproarious results. At 32 years old, the recently married author found herself suddenly surrounded by babies, and the expectation of family and friends that she would soon have one herself. Altmanâ€™s ambivalence prompted a search for the meaning of motherhood â€“â€“ one that led her to wear a fake pregnancy belly, attend pre-natal yoga classes, debate experts, and even tend to her very own crying plastic baby. Her reporting led to a surprising and uplifting lesson about life, love and the choices we make. â€œBaby Stepsâ€ is what to expect when youâ€™re not expecting â€“â€“ a heartfelt and hilarious guide to making the most important decision of your life.

After graduating from Columbia Universityâ€™s Graduate School of Journalism, Mara Altman worked as a staff writer for The Village Voice. In 2009, HarperCollins published Altman's first book, Thanks For Coming: A Young Woman's Quest for an Orgasm, which was optioned as a comedy series by HBO. She has published three best-selling Kindle Singles, and has also written for New York Magazine and The New York Times.
