Meditations on time, motherhood, and the ordinary beauty of everyday life

Like a newborn's patterns of sleeping and waking, the revelations of motherhood don't follow a reasonable schedule, and there's no clocking out. Organized around the hours of the day, Foxes for Everybody gives voice to the marvels, fears, absurdities, and astonishments of parenthood. These essays offer twenty-four glimpses into how we experience time, our families, our planet, and all of those small moments that aren't small at all. In memories and reflections that weave through tornadoes and jellyfish, cemeteries and carousels, mortality, mental health, and the exquisite gift of a perfect sentence, acclaimed writer Catherine Pierce reminds us that fear and joy can and do live side by side, and urges us to stay awake--even when, especially when, we're at the brink of exhaustion--to the possibility of wonder.
