Like a Mom

At 26, Gemma Cimino is certain about one thing: she wants to be a mom. Despite growing up without her own mother around, Gemma has been surrounded by loving mother figures her whole life, from her warm-hearted Italian aunts to the community of intelligent female colleagues at her workplace. Her world is changed when she meets and falls in love with Luke Reddin, a dual rock musician and divorced dad with two sons. Gemma is given everything she always wanted but quickly comes to find that motherhood and parenting are not what she had envisioned. In Like a Mom (Raquel Drosos Publications), Drosos weaves a story of the complexities of parenting and sacrifices parents make for their children and families.
