Motherhood and marriage are strong thematic components of the collection, and the title's question leads to a ruminative exploration of all the many possible answers that fall under its umbrella.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharde, Sharon:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sharon Charde practiced family therapy for twenty-five years as a licensed professional counselor and has led writing groups for women since 1992.
