Mom

Khrustalyna dreamed of hearing the word "Mom!" from her child's mouth. After five years of failed pregnancy planning, she and her husband adopted a three-month-old baby. Dozens of doctor's examinations and envious glances at women with baby carriages are behind, and joy and happiness are ahead. But romantic expectations of motherhood are shattered by harsh reality.

"Mom" continues the author's first novel, "Not Pregnant". Here, Khrustalyna not only learns to care for and coexist with an adopted child but also tries to come to terms with the rejection of society, a city that is absolutely not suitable for babies, unfriendly doctors, a new relationship with her husband, and even with her own body.

Like the first book, "Mom" is written based on the author's real experience. Frankly, sometimes with irony and sometimes with pain, she reproduces the transformation of the mother-child relationship. And to become a mother, the heroine will have to go through a lot and, above all, to hear herself.
