When she learns that she is pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant tale of one woman's journey to find balance, strength, and purpose in the face of life's most challenging transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 512g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 240 x 32 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781639363490\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Majka Burhardt","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44235805196538,"sku":"9781639363490","price":14.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1683900696233_book.jpg?v=1684161390","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/more-life-on-the-edge-of-adventure-and-motherhood-9781639363490","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
