Description
Mothers of Boys Survival Guide by Suzy Shaw is a deeply relatable, never-preachy parenting book that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud memoir and practical playbook. Shaw pulls back the curtain on life with her two Gen Z sons—nicknamed “Earnest” and “Exuberance”—to deliver stories that are raw, real, and ridiculously funny.
From messy moments to meaningful milestones, she offers boy moms (and any parent trying to keep up with modern family life) the reassurance that you’re not alone—and that survival can come with a healthy dose of humor. Perfect for readers who crave honesty over perfection, this book will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even tear up while giving you tools to thrive through the chaos of raising boys.
