Let the Baby Drive

“A must-read for all new mothers. . . . It helped me walk through my first few years of motherhood with joy and confidence.” —Entertainment Tonight

This insightful, deeply poignant and often hilarious narrative about the first years of motherhood inspires new mothers to follow their baby's cues and trust their own instincts. In letting her baby drive, the author didn't hand over the keys, but she let him navigate while she steered—and got to know him. Empathy bred understanding, a kind of two-way mirror that allowed them to learn from each other.

Award-winning author and journalist Lu Hanessian's Let the Baby Drive is not a “how-to” book but rather a “why-to” book that speaks to the human spirit about love, fear and letting go.

“A revealing, poignant memoir about paving one's own path in motherhood. Lu walks the reader through her own struggles and challenges and provides a fresh and interesting perspective through every twist and turn.” —June Cotner, author of Baby Blessings

“The most important part of life is Mother and Child. Lu makes this a miraculous time of discovery with love and leadership.” —Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator, #1 New York Times–bestselling series Chicken Soup for the Soul
