She began writing a very personal column for and about people trying to \"balance\" their lives, but hundreds of columns later, she noticed that she had not heard from a single person who had everything under control. Then she realized: Nobody can do it because it simply can't be done. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLife's Work\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of modern motherhood, where true happiness is often reached when you finally give up and give in. Belkin's is the funny, poignant, and always dead-on story of trying to do it all...and learning that doing just some of it is enough.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915330769054,"sku":"HPC-9780743225434","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743225434.jpg?v=1780036744","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743225434","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
