The Comeback

Author: Emma Gilbey Keller
This was an interesting collection of interviews. The author details the stories of 7 highly motivated and accomplished women, who left careers for one reason or another to stay at home with children, and then either returned to the career they left or embarked on a new path years later. It is easy for a mom to think she is losing her place and sacraficing the "good working years" of her life when she makes the choice to raise a family full time. But all of the women interviewed attribute their gained flexibility, wisdom, sense of self, and ability to think outside the box to walking the dual road of family and work life, and all ended up in the best working years of their life post at-home. Inspiring! 3 out of 5 stars.
