Mom, Rediscovered by Jen Butler, is her beautifully written
debut book. This heartfelt and honest book drew me in from the very
beginning. Jen’s story is raw but
extremely relatable. In Mom, Rediscovered, Jen shares with readers some of her
most personal and painful parts of her life. As soon as I started reading, I
immediately felt a connection to this story. I, too, was a child of divorce.
Our stories had similar experiences, but we each had our own, too. Her feelings
of not feeling good enough are so common for children of divorce. We often
wonder what we did wrong, and we become people pleasers. I’ll admit, I carried
a lot of baggage into my adult life, too. Jen’s story shows that we are not
alone, that there are people out there who do understand. It’s a shame that we
often hide our fears, doubts, worries, and pain. Jen lost herself in motherhood
(I can definitely relate).
Even if you can’t relate completely to Jen’s story, there
are parts of her struggles that we as wives and mothers can relate to. No
matter how strong and confident we may seem, we all struggle with self-doubt.
How we choose to handle that can look different, but we are all struggling to
find our way, especially in a world where so many people are ready to criticize
every little thing a mother does.
Mom, Redicovered shares the lonely path we often face as
mothers. In her story, Jen shares how she found her way out of the gray area of
drinking. A small glass of wine leads to another. Oddly, we see this
glorified in today's culture. All you have to do is open up Facebook or
Instagram, and you will see moms everywhere sharing their wine glasses. Jen
shares how hard it was to admit the truth and ask for help. I love how honest
Jen was about her struggle with drinking, diet culture, and being who you are.
I love how she shared her triumphs and setbacks. Her story is real. I’m so glad
she shared it with the world. I truly believe that so many women could benefit
from reading this memoir.
