Resumen del Editor

What happens when an ambitious girl grows up to be a mother?

Maleah thinks being a stay-at-home mom makes her inferior to other successful women. Plagued with unrelenting thoughts of inadequacy, she struggles to heal from postpartum depression without medication. Her search to save her body, her marriage, and her family leads to an unexpected revelation and the discovery of joy and health hidden within the heart of mothering.

Warner's debut memoir is Eat, Pray, Love (Elizabeth Gilbert) for the stay-at-home mother who longs for a journey of self-discovery without leaving home or arranging a babysitter.

Lies of the Magpie flows with humor and witty observation, escorting the listener on an unparalleled narrative experience.

Discover this not-to-be-missed, transformative listening experience.

“A revelatory journey of a mother’s search to find healing from postpartum depression. Lies of the Magpie is a must-read for mothers and fathers everywhere.” (Eric Dyches, founder of The Emily Effect)

Love it!

This book made me laugh, cry, ponder, and everything in between! I relate so much to Maleah as a mother and the feelings that she had in this journey. I was amazed at the amount of things she takes on when her children were young, not as a comparison to myself as much as realizing all we really do was mom's, whether we are working, stay-at-home, or somewhere in between. Even if some days all we do is make sure everyone is fed and don't kill each other, it's an accomplishment.
I felt like it did get a bit confusing when she started jumping around on the timeline of how things happened, in order to relate what was going through her mind and certain memories. it did help that she listed the day and time to mark jumping back to the present part of the story. I also felt like during certain parts she sounded a bit bored to be reading her own story, but it was very minor. As the reader and author, she does a good job of conveying the feelings she dealt with and relating to anyone struggling with mental health and other health problems. Highly recommend, I know I'll be listening again!

So relatable!

I loved the story. I looked forward to listening to it, to see what was going to happen next. Hearing the parts about depression after babies, and our subconscious thoughts, and how women feel in contrast to men, the hashimotos, it all validated me. It was honest. I love people that are real.

Amazing

Maleah does an amazing job describing what motherhood can feel like! I heard about this book because I have Hashimotos and even though I’ve never experienced postpartum depression I felt so validated as a mother. It also opened my eyes to depression and how it can affect families! I also found a renewed enjoyment and gratitude for life and finding joy in the simple things. Love this book. I’d recommend to any mother and even father.
