MothersClick.com To Host Virtual Book Tour for Parenting Journalist and Author Meredith O'Brien

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2007

Parenting journalist and popular mom blogger, Meredith O'Brien, shares her amusing perspectives on suburban motherhood and MothersClick.com (http://www.mothersclick.com) is proud to host the site's second online book tour giving interested readers and fans an opportunity to "meet" the author and engage in unedited and unscripted conversation.

"MothersClick is a vibrant community that's alive with the voices of real moms doing real parenting in the trenches," says Meredith O'Brien.

A Suburban Mom: Notes from the Asylum is is a collection of columns about the madness of modern parenting in the American suburbs, everything from trying (and failing) to keep up with overachieving parents, to trying to keep your toddler from eating out of the trash can. This collection of 76 essays is organized in five categories: Motherhood, etc.; Pregnancy, Birth & Other Bloody Things; Growing Pains; On the Home Front, and Random Ramblings.

"This book was written over the course of the past eight years, starting with when I had my twins in 1998, through the birth of my third child in 2001, through their entrance into the school system," explains O'Brien. "As I tried to become an informed parent and voraciously read everything I could find about parenting, I found that the combination of the advice of the 'experts' and the simplistic '8 surefire ways to stop your toddler from whining' made me start to question my parenting, made me think I was not only failing, but that I had no idea what I was doing."

By hosting this book tour and giving moms an opportunity to chat live with the author online, MothersClick.com is providing another resource to further engage their growing community, and also encourage the participation of moms everywhere. "We are thrilled to sponsor this unique chatroom series," said Andra Davidson, president and co-founder of MothersClick. "Meredith's chronicles of motherhood have entertained and inspired many parents for years. This book pulls it all together."

Advance praise: "In A Suburban Mom: Notes from the Asylum, Meredith O'Brien has given every mom something she desperately needs amid today's world of 'perfect parents' - a wonderful dose of reality, along with lots of laughs!" -- Betsy Hart, nationally syndicated columnist and author of "It Takes a Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting is Hurting Our Kids and What to Do About It".
