Rebranding Motherhood

At twenty-two, Lizzy Johnson is living the kind of life modern culture usually tells young women to delay. She is a wife, a mother, a college student, a communications professional, and a writer of Christian fiction — not because every part of her life unfolded according to plan, but because it didn’t. Marriage, motherhood, work, school, family support, and creative vocation all arrived on a timel...

Stephanie Seltzer studies those trends — but she is also living inside the questions. As a researcher, wife and mother of nine in California, Stephanie brings both study and lived exp...
