New Novel For Moms, Book Signing Event with Gwendolen Gross, Author of The Other Mother

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 25, 2007 – Meet Gwendolen Gross, author of The Other Mother, for a book signing and Q&A. The book signing is on October 27 from 1-3pm at Bookends Bookstore in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

The Other Mother by Gwendolen Gross (http://www.The-Other-Mother.com) “paints an electrifyingly complex and explosively gripping portrait of contemporary, have-it-all motherhood” says Booklist. Book reviews of The Other Mother describe how the novel speaks to this tension between stay at home and working moms.

Publisher's Weekly says that The Other Mother “documents the front lines of the Mommy Wars, but its real strength lies is exposing the complex inner battlefields motherhood can open up.” National Public Radio calls The Other Mother “a thoughtful, multi-faceted look at what divides and unites mothers.”

In connection with the book, Ms. Gross, an award-winning writing instructor, is offering a free online writing workshop (http://gwendolengross.typepad.com). In this interactive forum, mothers write stories inspired by their experiences and choices. Gross says, “I started this writing workshop encourage women to explore the meaning of motherhood through writing, and to share their experiences in hopes of better understanding each other.”

The Other Mother: A Novel is now available from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Other-Mother-Novel-Gwendolen-Gross ...) and in bookstores.
