Author Event with Shawna Lander: The Role of Mom Will Be Played By

Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an engaging and heartfelt author event with Shawna Lander to celebrate the release of her new memoir, The Role of Mom Will Be Played By: The Year I Had a Baby and Became Myself. Shawna will be in conversation with content creator Christa Innis for an afternoon of storytelling, laughter, and community.

About the Book & Author

Perfect for both new mothers and mothers-to-be, this deeply personal memoir reveals why motherhood isn’t just a new chapter, but a total metamorphosis. As the creator of the popular “Witty Humor” account @ShawnaTheMom, Shawna is known for sharing her misadventures with raw comedy. In her new book, she strips away the neatly curated version of parenting, sharing her unvarnished journey to present motherhood as the messy, profound, and beautifully chaotic experience it truly is. Shawna delivers wisdom and support, emphasizing that while there is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, every mother’s unique journey is entirely valid.
