Amazon.com
In The Mother Trip, her follow-up to the cult classic, The Hip Mama Survival Guide, Ariel Gore offers the kind of down-to-earth, truthful mothering conversations that you'd expect to have with a best girlfriend. In this collection of essays--some lasting one page, some stretching to five--Gore deftly spotlights the messy corners of motherhood: sleeplessness, depression, weird pregnancy dreams, the restless hunger for creativity, and the passionate love of children. This is comforting turf, especially for mothers who have felt patronized and bored by the numerous advice-laden mothering manuals on the market. Gore mixes straight talk with dreamier musings, using sensual details and thoughtful subtext to illuminate the spirituality of motherhood. (Her essay about being 19, pregnant, and living with a transient boyfriend in Italy is a masterfully crafted gem.) A sexy, political, and highly conscious mother who refuses to diminish herself, Gore is one of the best mothering role models to show up on the written page. In the essay "Children Need Interesting Mothers," she writes,
We need time to ourselves, moments of awareness, connections, meaningful work. We need cheap art, good sex, nights at the bowling alley and days at the beach. We need good coffee, hearty meals, lush gardens and time to relax and enjoy our lives without worrying so much that we are good enough mothers or skinny enough girlfriends or wives. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can mother our children soulfully and lead lives worth living.Amen, sister. --Gail Hudson
From Library Journal
What looks to be a breezy, sometimes irreverent, certainly untraditional book about motherhood is really worthwhile. Besides that, it's fun. Gore, a single mother, is founder and publisher of Hip Mama magazine, from which the web site originated. After a slow start (with descriptions of her pregnancy and time spent in Italy), Gore shares her feelings about motherhood and American culture in short, seemingly unordered chapters. Sprinkled throughout are autobiographical anecdotesDan unconventional childhood, parents and stepparents, welfare problems, a custody battle, and relationships with menDthat illustrate her view of motherhood. Along the way, she also debunks popular myths by asserting, "Never abandon your child, even to tough-love approaches. You are enough for your child. Loafing is good for you and your children. Never worry about having it all." (Elsewhere, in this reviewer's favorite passage, she notes, "Juggling is for circus clowns.") Gore knows that motherhood is isolating, heartbreaking, and delightful, and she's not afraid to say so.DLinda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA

I'm relieved to see I am not alone in not liking this book, The Mother Trip. I had a very negative gut reaction to this book. It just makes me feel out of sorts and a little queasy. It reads FAKE to me. The Mother Trip isn't anything I'd have represent me or my adventures in mamahood. I wouldn't recommend this book. I can't think of anything I liked about it.

I read Mother Trip with anticipation and eagerness. I'd heard only good about the book and I expected only good after reading the Survival Guide with my first pregnancy. I am, however, disappointed in the Mother Trip. Maybe it's because I expected too much; maybe it's because I don't care for or buy into MARKETING TARGETED merchandise (Gen X, Slacker, etc.); maybe it's because I re-read the Survival Guide and found blatant hypocrisy (use the Catholic Church and other religious organizations when you're in need but hey, when you've gotten what you need from them diss 'em openly and freely), and that coupled with the arogant, superficial, pretentious tones and whiny attitude of the Mother Trip is enough to make me hurl. I threw Ariel Gore's books into my recycle bin where they will be the most beneficial: made into something new and useful.

Thank you, Ariel Gore, for motivating me. Yeah, the Mother Trip motivated me to leave the hipmama.com webcommunity (collective), to cancel my zine subscription, to spend more time with my real life family and friends, to clean up the mess in my house and to embrace life free of the stupidity and ignorance that has encrusted all things hipmama.Any mama could have written this book and any mama, other than Ms. Gore, should have, for it would have been more interesting, real and less self congratulatory. And just what is Ms. Gore congratulating herself for anyhow? Self chosen poverty, single parenthood, slackerhood and subversiveness does not make a mama hip. If you want to read more hypocrisy, feel degraded, get caught in ugly and berating personal wars just because you express an opinion that rubs against the grains of the hipsters at hipmama, visit the webcommunity and save your money.I do give Gore 1 star for motivating me to get on with a real life and for actually writing and submitting this book for publication.
