Hold On, But Don't Hold Still

Hope and Humor from My Seriously Flawed Life

By: Kristina Kuzmic

Narrated by: Kristina Kuzmic

Delivering inspiration and "parenting comedy at its finest,"* here is one woman's story of ditching her fairytale dreams and falling in love with her unpredictable, chaotic, imperfect life from the author of I Can Fix This

Kristina Kuzmic has made herself a household name, speaking directly to mothers from the trenches of parenthood via her viral videos and social media presence. She is now bringing her message of self-acceptance, resilience, and joy to book readers. With a refreshingly unpretentious, funny, and galvanizing voice, Kuzmic goes behind the scenes to reveal how she went from broke and defeated to unshakably grounded and brimming with thankfulness. Illuminating the hard-won wisdom from a life always spent one step behind--whether it was as a high school student new to America, a suddenly single mother to two kids, remarried and juggling two teens and a toddler, or the unexpected recipient of Oprah's attention and investment--Hold On, But Don't Hold Still is the book every mother needs to reassure her that she's not only fine just as she is, but that she already has more tools and support than she can possibly imagine. Sparkling with wit, this heartfelt memoir is like a long coffee date with a best friend, or the eleventh-hour text message that gives you just the boost you need to get through the night.

a must for moms

This book is full of great life "lessons" and wisdom wrapped into stories of happiness, sadness, struggles, and overcoming.

Licensed counselor endorsed!!!

As an LPC, I fully recommend this book as a MUST READ for divorced parents learning to co-parent. I wish I didn’t hear the sad, difficult, confusing tormenting stories of kids caught in between their parents after divorce. But I do. THANK YOU FOR WRITING YOUR STORY!!!

Every mom needs this book!

I laughed, I cried, I cried more. Kristina is so relatable and truly helped remind me that this parenting thing isn’t as easy as we all make it look in social media.

Treasure chest of great advice & inspiration!

Such a great book! I find the author so inspiring & uplifting. Her words of encouragement & advice were very much needed.
