Motherhood's a Bloodsport - Paperback

Parnell, Jennifer: - Jennifer Parnell first imagined Motherhood's a Bloodsport nearly 30 years ago, during one of the darkest times of her life, escaping an abusive marriage and fighting to rebuild her world. She envisioned a woman like herself: someone who didn't just endure, but struck back when pushed too far.Writing longhand during breaks at her day job, Jennifer poured raw emotion onto the page, trauma, resilience, and the fierce instinct to protect her children. Her lived experiences became the backbone of Norma's character: a mother who refuses to be prey.Today, Jennifer is not only a survivor, but a creator of stories where women rise, fight, and win. This book marks the fulfillment of a promise she made to herself decades ago: to turn pain into power.Talkemeyer, Lauren: - Growing up with a mother who taught her strength through survival, Lauren inherited both passion and grit. When she became a mother herself, the story Jennifer began years ago resonated like never before. Together, they revived the idea, shaping it into a bold, modern thriller.Lauren transcribed and edited Jennifer's handwritten pages while juggling writing sessions around naps, snacks, and chaos from her two small children. She expanded the world, layered in dystopian elements, and helped guide the story into its final, gripping form.For Lauren, storytelling isn't just entertainment, it's preparation. She channels her own instinct to protect her family into fiction that forces readers to ask: What would you do to save the ones you love?
