I am hopeful this book will help meet you where you are. Twenty years ago, when the ideas in this book were forming in my head, I was in the midst of a personal isolation/crisis.
We had just moved to a new city and I knew no one. I worked from home so I could care for our two children ages five and two while my husband attended grad school. My mother died. Then two brothers were in accidents that left them in comas. Then another brother died. Then my step-father died.
The grief and loneliness tested me. I was overwhelmed and lonely.
Perhaps you can relate to how I was simply checking boxes to survive:
Then I did one last thing so I felt like I did more than just keep us alive:
This book is about the journey that took me from feeling empty and lost to feeling connected and grounded.
Everyone knows that reading to your child promotes literacy. This is a book about reading to your child to promote intimacy. Intimacy allows you to fully connect. When we listen to our children’s unique stories, we offer them the legacy of belonging.
“Rebecca’s voice in The Vegetarian and the Hunter is part memoirist, part librarian, part mom and part life coach. Her fresh perspective on reading is entertaining, engaging and a pleasure to read.”– Jill Burkey, Law Office manager and mother of two

What my Readers Say:
”I wish I could give this book to every new parent and to every struggling parent of a teen who wonders how this story could possibly have a happy ending. Rebecca Mullen covers so much more than reading to our kids. She teaches us to listen, to deeply connect, to help frame our children’s lives, to be more thoughtful in our parenting. It’s a book with the power to change families, to change the world.

”WOW!! You are such an intuitive writer! The double attention idea is so simple and so brilliant, but I have never heard it before and will carry it forward in my life not just with my children but also with my husband. Loved this quote (from Rebecca's book) ‘Be willing to welcome the joy that comes from sacrifice and hard work.’ It recognizes the reality of being a parent without denying the joy that comes from it.

”You have put your soft side out in a way that offers strength to others. You can be a transparent person and strong at the same time. The more I read of your writing, the more I wanna read.
Janet ThomasMassage Therapist
”I have tears in my eyes as I read and reread your words. ‘I don't believe there is anything that puts a person outside my love.’ I will hold that thought in my mind tomorrow night along with feeling you next to me.
