About this Event

Join Libby Ward for an interview and reading to celebrate the launch of her new book, Honest Motherhood. Following the conversation, there will be a book signing and a meet-and-greet. Connect with fellow readers, followers and hear the stories that capture the heart of Libby's message: Motherhood is hard. Being honest helps.

The ticket price includes a signed copy of Libby's new book Honest Motherhood.

About the Book:
An unflinchingly honest and disarmingly funny memoir from an exhausted mom who broke under the pressure to do it all and found herself in the rubble.


In Honest Motherhood, Libby candidly shares her journey of unlearning the myth of the ideal mother. She dives headfirst into the experiences many mothers have but few feel safe enough to say out loud—the lack of support, the guilt, the invisibility, the cycles they’re breaking, and the fantasies about a hospital stay just to get a flippin’ break. Libby untangles her social conditioning from learned trauma responses and discovers that letting go of unrealistic standards, asking for help, and prioritizing herself aren’t failures—they’re necessities.


Honest Motherhood is a rallying cry for moms to let go of perfection, choose themselves, and give their kids what they need most—a mother who is present and whole.

“Libby Ward has written the motherhood manifesto we didn’t know we needed. Read Honest Motherhood. Highlight it. Shove it into the hands of every mom you know.” - Jen Hatmaker New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love Podcast

“A promising debut. . . .A vulnerable, insightful, and refreshing exploration of what it takes to become a good parent when you grow up with dysfunction.” –Kirkus Reviews

"Highly recommended…This memoir is sure to resonate with fans of authors like Brené Brown and Eve Rodsky and become a new rallying cry for a generation of exhausted mothers." - Library Journal
