Many working mothers today face great tension between their families and careers. They are more likely than men to feel pressed for time and conflicted about being away from young children while working. They are also more likely to seek out help or guidance.
Mastering the Mommy Track tells the stories of everyday working mothers, the challenges they have faced, and lessons learned. It also offers solutions from experts on how mothers can overcome current issues in order to lead happy, healthy lives at home and work.
The Great Recession has had a deep impact on working mothers; this book delves into the issues these mothers have faced and timely solutions to overcome them. The Great Recession saw women working harder than ever before to support their families, many being the sole breadwinner while Dad stayed at home, caring for young kids. Many women also experienced burnout and depression, putting their children and spouse's needs above their own.
Â
A 2010 Pew Research survey found that 30 months after it began, the Great Recession has led to a downsizing of Americans' expectations about their retirements and their children's future; a new frugality in their spending and borrowing habits; and a concern that it could take several years, at a minimum, for their house values and family finances to recover.
As we gradually recover from the economic slowdown, women are seeking to reclaim their lives. Mastering the Mommy Track helps them do this, offering timely case studies and solutions that work.
The dozen chapters each address critical issues women grapple with including parenting, financial, time management, romance, psychological and nutrition/health. Mastering the Mommy Track, while not grim, takes a serious approach, telling the tales of women who have struggled through the economic downturn to achieve a new working attitude. Â

She relates her own struggles in raising two daughters and working in a PR firm, while her husband was unemployed. One of the strengths in Jay's book is that in each chapter she interviews (or culls from other sources) experts on the topic. Her advice is measured and realistic. She affirms that parents' first responsibility is to their family--children and the couple--hence, the slant of her title. Each chapter is a separate take, so readers cam locate an issue in the Table of Contents and tap advice on that issue.

This is a book you'll want to own and recommend to your friends. - One of the most difficult parts of life is balancing work and family life. As you may know, Unconventional Librarian is also a mother; so I was thrilled when my friend Erin Flynn Jay asked me to take part in her book tour reading Mastering the Mommy Track.
I had the good fortune to meet Erin this year through a group of savvy social media women called Philly Social Media Moms. We all share the similar experiences and support and educate each other. Plus, we attend lots of parties, and you know how much PammyPam loves parties!
Erin's book, Mastering the Mommy Track is a comprehensive book for women struggling to do it all. To be sure, much of the advice in Mommy Track is geared toward young and new mothers, any parent, mothers especially can benefit from her valuable advice.
As a librarian, I'm trained to check sources for accuracy. I've been known to check famous author's sources and I've been lucky enough to praise them on their accuracy. What I like the best about Erin's book is that she backs up much of her book with statistics and research. Mommy Track provides anecdotal support to the data she reveals from research. The result is usable advice that works. I didn't need to verify any of Erin's information because she provided the proof herself!
Mommy Track is broken into four issues Home, Health, Parenting, and Work Life. Each section is further broken into sub sections allowing the reader to find exactly the information she needs quickly and easily. The book can be read in its entirety or as needed, much like a workbook.
Erin's resources and insight are invaluable and as a parent of older children, I find that I'm still struggling with many of the issues discussed in the book (time management, sleep and health issues). I don't feel like you really ever master the mommy track, but rather get a handle on one segment before you move onto the next phase of mommyhood. It's comforting to know I'm not alone and I'm not crazy. But as the mad hatter says, we're all mad here. So, I guess I'm in good company!
COMING SOON and interview with the author and a GIVEAWAY!
I give Erin's book 4 paws!
