Lisa Harper's memoir A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood is more than just her story of becoming a mother. It tells all from conception to her daughter's first word.

Kirkus called it "A sweet, immediate articulation of the experience of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood."

A Double Life was featured on Largehearted Boy's book note series, in which authors create playlists to accompany their books. Check out Harper’s playlist — as well as her reasons for selecting the songs she did — here.

Harper also was on Glimmer Train, writing about finding a balance between parenting and writing. She discusses how the birth of her children has made her writing better, even if she has less time.
