Illustrating the myriad ways that mothers provide for their children -- piloting airplanes, washing floors, or dancing at a strip club -- this book is the first to depict a sex-worker parent. It provides an expanded notion of working mothers and challenges the idea that only some jobs result in good parenting. We're reminded that, while every mama's work looks different, every mama works to make their baby's world better.
