From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion in the Living Room comes a fascinating and provocative exploration of the biology of motherhood that “is witty, reassuring, and takes motherhood out of the footnotes and places it front and center—where it belongs” (Louann Brizendine, MD, New York Times bestselling author).

Everyone knows how babies are made, but scientists are only just beginning to understand the making of a mother. Mom Genes reveals the hard science behind our tenderest maternal impulses, tackling questions such as why mothers are destined to mimic their own moms (or not), how maternal aggression makes females the world’s most formidable creatures, and how a crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic can make or break a mom.

Weaving the latest research with Abigail Tucker’s personal experiences, Mom Genes “is an eye-opening tour through the biology and psychology of a role that is at once utterly ordinary and wondrously strange” (Annie Murphy Paul, author of Origins).

I'm a younger mom at 24 and honestly A LOT of parts of this book made me feel discouraged and maybe even at a disadvantage. I started getting the sense that maybe this book was written for women older than me who were expecting. That's ok! I just wish I knew that before starting this book since a lot of parts made me feel anxious, unprepared, and like I did a bad thing by getting pregnant as a, "younger 20 something," (as she calls us over a billion times).

Overall, though, this book taught me so much as a first time young mom. Regardless of the comments here and there about the advantages of getting pregnant older and the disadvantages of being younger, I still learned so much and I definitely feel more prepared to be the best mom possible than before.

Not written for, "younger 20-somethings."
