Instant Mom

ebook
A New York Times bestseller, Instant Mom is Academy Award-nominated writer/star Nia Vardalos's true story of becoming a mother through adoption.
"Some families are created in different ways but are still, in every way, a family."
Writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nia Vardalos firmly believed she was supposed to be a mom, but Mother Nature and modern medicine had put her in a headlock. So she made a choice that shocked friends, family, and even herself: with only fourteen hours' notice, she adopted a preschooler.
Instant Mom is Vardalos's poignant and hilarious true chronicle of trying to become a mother while fielding nosy "frenemies" and Hollywood reporters asking, "Any baby news?" With genuine and frank honesty, she describes how she and husband Ian Gomez eventually found their daughter . . . and what happened next. Vardalos explores innovative ways to conquer the challenges all new moms face, from sleep to personal grooming, and learns that whether via biology, relationship, or adoption—motherhood comes in many forms.
Featuring laugh-out-loud behind the scenes Hollywood anecdotes, Vardalos candidly shares her instant motherhood story that is relatable for all new moms (and dads!)
"If you have ever considered bringing a child who isn't an infant into your family, it's the book you'll want to read. And if you just enjoy a good, honest memoir, it's the book for you, too." —New York Times' Motherlode Blog
"Refreshingly candid for all parents-plus anyone considering adoption. We know Nia is many things: writer, actress, director, musical theater lover! Here, though, you learn she is a mom first. Pure, beautiful honesty." —Kristin Chenoweth
