About
This insightful, deeply poignant and often hilarious narrative about the first years of motherhood inspires new mothers to follow their baby's cues and trust their own instincts. In letting her baby drive, the author didn't hand over the keys, but she let him navigate while she steered-and got to know him. Empathy bred understanding, a kind of two-way mirror that allowed them to learn from each other. This is not a "how-to" book but rather a "why-to" book that speaks to the human spirit about love, fear and letting go.

"This is the book Henry David Thoreau would have written if he had been a mother. It is absolutely revolutionary!"
E. Jean Carroll, author, advice columnist, Elle
"Do we dare Let the Baby Drive? Lu Hanessian humorously and sensitively makes it clear why the answer can only be "yes" if we are to become the kind of mother our precious child needs. It's about focusing on the baby for guidance, and then having the courage to trust and act on what we have learned. An important book."
