This honest and heartwarming memoir offers a portrait of the labour and glory of keeping a home and raising a family.
Weaving past and present, Helen Rebanks shares her highs and lows, from the emotional journey to the birth of her first child, and the endless improvisation of each night's dinner, to the dog gobbling up her daughter's freshly-made birthday cake.
These are days that have shaped her, and the ways she finds the quiet strength to keep going.
