As mothers, our work is perpetual.

From late-night feedings to early morning lunch-packing, some days it is damn near possible to sit still and rest. Our neverending to-do lists, demanding jobs, and family time always compete for our time and attention. It's no wonder we break, or in Christina Dunbar's case, develop a stress-induced illness.
