Sinopse

'Anchor. Author. Mom.'What you donâÇÖt normally see on television from journalist Molly Grantham is how behind the polished image, sheâÇÖs juggling to keep the balls of life up in the air. The Juggle is Real shines a raw and funny light on the messy realities so many of us face: the constant rotation of whateverâÇÖs barreling toward us next.GranthamâÇÖs first book, Small Victories, ended beside her motherâÇÖs hospice bed. ThatâÇÖs where this one begins-seeing the circle of life through her childrenâÇÖs eyes. From there, itâÇÖs a chronicle of ups and downs, including endless arguments over what to wear, emergency surgeries, beloved pets, and the hysterical one-kid parade of her sonâÇÖs battery-operated mini ice-cream truck through busy city streets. All interwoven with GranthamâÇÖs public and often nutty job. Her honesty will have you crying and laughing out loud at this continuing story of loving kids and a career.'Molly Grantham is real. And her authenticity as a mom and a fallible human being shines through every one of her pages in this compelling collection of parenting essays.' - The Huffington Post'Am I brave enough to admit my mothering-fail moments to the world, especially a world in which people are viciously judgmental about other peopleâÇÖs parenting? And even more, would I be willing to do that if I worked in an industry where a polished, perfect appearance is part of the job description? IâÇÖm not sure. But thank God, Molly is.' Kimmery Martin, Author, The Queen of Hearts and The Antidote to Everything'With humor, heart, and a willingness to bare her soul-even when it might seem a little uncomfortable to do so-Molly proves once again that she is gifted at telling tales at motherhood as she is at delivering the news every night.' Theoden James, Charlotte Observer'The Juggle is Real deftly captures moments of parenthood and life that are so poignant and beautiful that it stops your heart for a beat.'
