Becoming a mother is rarely what you expect.
Jane Roper never expected she'd have twins--or that they'd be such a spirited twosome.
She didn't expect that finding the right balance of work and home would be so tricky.
And she certainly didn't expect she'd grapple with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during her daughters' toddler years.
But she also didn't anticipate just how much joy, laughter and self-discovery motherhood would bring.
Full of warmth, honesty, occasional advice, and a generous helping of humor, Double Time is a smart and engaging account of the first three years with multiples and a refreshingly candid and vulnerable look at clinical depression.
It's a memoir that will resonate countless women--especially those parenting in double time.
