AMATEUR HOUR is an emotionally honest, arresting, and funny collection of essays about motherhood and adulthood. With accessibility and wit, Kimberly Harrington captures the emotions around parenthood in artful and earnest ways, highlighting this time in the middle—midlife, the middle years of childhood, how women are stuck in the middle of so much. It’s a place of elation, exhaustion, and time whipping past at warp speed. Finally, it’s a quiet space to consider the girl you were, the mother you are, and the woman you are always becoming.” For more information on Amateur Hour: https://www.kimberlyharrington.me/amateur-hour/
