With her dark humor and hair-trigger B.S. detector, O'Connell addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the fantasies of a \"natural\" birth experience that erode maternal self-esteem, post-partum body and sex issues, and the fascinating strangeness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Channeling fears and anxieties that are still taboo and often unspoken, \u003ci\u003eAnd Now We Have Everything\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinchingly frank, funny, and visceral motherhood story for our times, about having a baby and staying, for better or worse, exactly yourself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmart, funny, and true in all the best ways, this book made me ache with recognition.\" -- Cheryl Strayed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeaghan O'Connell\u003c\/b\u003e's writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003eNew York Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Longreads, and The Billfold, where she was an editor.
