What the critics say

“Amy Henderson’s beautiful personal storytelling coupled with rigorous research shows us the true value to society when we care for our children, loved ones, and community.” (Eve Rodsky, best-selling author of Fair Play)

Tending is a brave, raw, powerful book. It tells a tale that must be told and retold until our society finally comes to value care just as much as career.” (Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America)

Tending is a much-needed, powerful, primal scream that mothers are not alone and are not defective. Amy Henderson’s story, complete with copious research, is one of power, redemption, and ferocious love. Pay special attention and Tending will change your life.” (Sarah Lacy, founder and CEO of Chairman Mom and best-selling author of A Uterus is a Feature, Not a Bug)
