Reviews
"In The Mother Code, Ruthie Ackerman offers readers an intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of her decision to become a mother despite a troubling legacy from the women in her family . . . This tender, generous book does the hard work of redefining 'motherhood' and 'family' so that they honor all aspects of a woman's life." --Christie Tate, author of the New York Times bestseller GROUP "A warm, candid memoir with a clear-eyed take on the conflicting pressures placed on Gen-X women, and all the ways choosing one path in life means forsaking others." --Ada Calhoun, New York Times bestselling author of Why We Can't Sleep "Ruthie Ackerman zeros in on the stage of her life where she grapples with the decision whether to become a mother--taking us on a profound journey through societal expectations, desire, ambivalence and optimism." --Eve Rodsky, NYT bestselling author of Fair Play "A beautiful and honest examination of motherhood, obsession, genetics, feminism, fear, and letting go. This gem of a read is pregnant with solid writing, research, and revelation commingled with unequivocal clarity about being lost in a familial fever dream." --Moon Unit Zappa, actress, singer, and author of Earth to Moon "Through her honesty, tenderness, and courage, Ruthie has managed to wrap her arms around anyone who has struggled with the path to motherhood . . . Her book is wondrous proof that no story or family looks the same, and that even the darkest edges of each and every journey to have a child can somehow become the thing that heals us." --Christene Barberich, co-founder Refinery29, and writer of the best-selling Substack newsletter A Tiny Apt "The Mother Code is a candid, raw interrogation of maternal ambivalence, genetic inheritance, infertility, what we gain as mothers, and what we must leave behind. Anyone faced with questions on their own journey will feel seen by this deeply personal, probing memoir." --Leslie Schrock, author of Bumpin' " The Mother Code subverts our ideas about parenting, womanhood, nature, and nurture. Ruthie Ackerman is that rare writer whose fierce intelligence is matched by her warmth and honesty. Her book brings us new ways of thinking about how to be a mother, and a person." --Claire Dederer, author of the national bestsellers Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma Ruthie Ackerman peels the stereotypes of motherhood to unveil the reality of becoming and being a mother. The Mother Code is a necessary paradigm shifter, and an urgent one for the moment." --Hitha Palepu, Curator, #5SmartReads "Ruthie Ackerman's book is an honest, intimate look at one woman's journey to motherhood. There's not a right or wrong time to become a parent or right or wrong way--each path to parenthood is unique and the journey is a critical part of the end result." --Eric J Forman, MD HCLD, Medical and Laboratory Director at Columbia University Fertility Center
Synopsis
In this propulsive memoir, an award-winning journalist blends history, science, and cultural criticism to uncover whether motherhood outside of society's rigid rules and expectations is possible--and whether she fits the mold for what a mother should be. "This tender, generous book does the hard work of redefining 'motherhood' and 'family' so that they honor all aspects of a woman's life."--Christie Tate, author of the New York Times bestseller Group Ruthie Ackerman had long believed that the decision to not have children was a radical act. She'd grown up being told that she came from a long line of women who had abandoned their kids and feared she would pass on her half-brother's rare genetic disorder. So when she marries a man who doesn't want children, she hopes she can be happy without any. But a voice in her head keeps returning to the question: What if mothering can be a radical act too? When her marriage veers off course, she goes searching through the twists and turns of her DNA to decide once and for all whether she should become a mother. By the time Ruthie finally determines that she desperately wants a child, she learns that motherhood won't happen the way she thought it would. Now she must enter the hall of mirrors where biology, genetics, and philosophy collide as she wonders what it means to both create and nurture a life. What does inheritance really entail? What does it mean to be a "good" mother? When it comes down to it, how important is nature versus nurture? And where are the models for what a "good life" can look like for women, both with and without children? Synthesizing reportage and memoir, The Mother Code unravels how we've come to understand the institution of motherhood. What emerges is a groundbreaking new vision for what it means to parent: a mother code that goes beyond our bloodlines and genetics and instead urges us to embrace inheritance as the legacy we want to leave behind for those we love.
