SUMMARY:One Bad Mother Launch Event at Books Inc!
DESCRIPTION:This is a book for every mother who questions herself, has a bad day, or thinks that challenging athletic feats and professional achievements may in fact be easier than being a mother. That is—most of us.\nJoin Megan Williams, author of One Bad Mother, for her launch event at Books Inc. on September 26th from 7pm-8:30pm for an author talk and reading!\nEVENT INFORMATION:\n1875 S Bascom Ave\nSuite 600\nCampbell, CA  95008\nCheck out more information on the event at the Books Inc. site: https://live-booksinc1715633214.pantheonsite.io/events/calendar\nPurchase your copy of One Bad Mother here!\nAbout One Bad Mother:\nAfter one of her six-year-old twins puts a hammer through a wall, Megan Williams feels as if she is failing the test that is motherhood. And it’s one she’s been failing ever since her twins were born at twenty-nine weeks. Recognizing a hole in her life that is eerily similar to the space left in her drywall, Williams abandons her academic career to apply to the Police Academy. She needs a win.\nThrough a grueling two-year application process, Williams confronts her  mental and psychological abilities. She runs laps around younger candidates, but she fails her physical because she takes Prozac. Yet another obstacle arises when her mandatory polygraph insists that she is a drug dealer. During it all, Williams measures herself against the other candidates and other mothers with brutal honesty and black humor. She confronts the paralyzing fear that she is a bad mother, as well as the real possibility that she might not make the cut at the Academy. In the end, she makes peace with a motherhood far different from the dream sold by our culture.\nAbout Megan Williams:\nPrevious to her decision to apply to the Police Department, Megan Williams was a professor of English at various universities for over twenty years. After graduating from Haverford College, Megan received her Ph.D. in English from Temple University and taught at Lafayette College and Santa Clara University. Portions of One Bad Mother have received recognition from the New Millennium Award in Nonfiction, the Cagibi Magazine Prize, Panther Creek Award in Non-Fiction, and William Faulkner Creative Writers’ Competition. Last year, Williams won the PNWA award for nonfiction. She and her family currently reside in Bellingham, Washington.\n
