Hopefully Flawed

<p><strong>Motherhood was not my lifelong dream. </strong></p><p>Highly committed to her medical career she was intent on pursuing brain surgery. Utterly content as a single girl she considered a call to celibacy. One husband and four living children later her best laid plans had clearly gone awry. Would her medical background prove a help or hindrance? As a relapsing perfectionist would she be crushed by the weight of her own expectations? </p><p><em>Hopefully Flawed </em>weaves cathartic poetry with retrospective prose to celebrate a true story about answering the call to motherhood and the freedom of finding meaning in the mess. Flaws are inevitable. Hope is possible.</p>
