MOMMIES WHO DRINK is a collection of true stories that track Paesel’s experience of motherhood - the common bond that either unites women in friendship or polarizes them to different camps.

Wickedly funny and painfully honest, these stories explore what it’s like to be a modern mother. Is it possible to be a mother and a woman at the same time? Can a mother successfully reclaim her carefree past and, if she can, should she? With integrity and candour, Paesel speaks to all women who are braving the frightening new world of motherhood. And of course that most important of questions: ‘What time of the day is too early to start drinking?’

Reviews

  • 'It's not Mommy Lit, nor your standard-shelf 'This is my Sex Life' memoir. It's Brett Paesel - a poet, a spy, an artist, a comedienne - who happens to be a mommy with a sex life. I love Brett's laugh-out-loud writing and skewed perspective that always resonates with deep, complex, hilarious truth. She thinks like no other, and writes like someone we've all been waiting for' Jill Soloway, writer and co-executive producer, SIX FEET UNDER
