During maternity leave with her second child, television news anchor Molly Grantham started writing about the reality of caring for two young kids and missing herself.. Shining an honest--and often funny--light on her own parental struggles was an unexpected transition for this journalist used to reporting on gangs, crime and serious social issues. But the real surprise came in how many people related to her raw takes on parenthood.

From her admittance that diapers and feedings aren't all they're cracked up to be, to missing her career, to discovering the pure joy of watching her children grow, Small Victories: The Off-Camera Life of an On-Camera Mom is a month-by-month progression of one woman's journey, and how by sharing her story, she discovers a wealth of solidarity and strength within the community.
