Hosted by: Alexandra Kennedy,
editor-in-chief of Family Fun magazine

Talk • Booksigning

The host from last season’s “Word for Word” and parenting contributor to Good Morning America returns to discuss her book, The 7 Stages of Motherhood. This refreshingly candid parenting book puts mothers—not children—center stage. Ann provides a reassuring, wise, and often wildly funny mix of anecdotes and advice as she describes the seismic shifts in women’s lives and identities from pregnancy through a child’s graduation.

“Refreshingly honest, often hilarious.”
— The New York Sun

“An emotional lifeline to mothers everywhere.”
— William Pollack, author of Real Boys

“Ann Pleshette Murphy is one of my heroes.”
— T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.
