Small Victories: The Off-Camera Life of an On-Camera Mom

During maternity leave with her second child, television news anchor Molly Grantham started writing weekly Facebook posts about her endless attempts to "keep it all together." Shining an honest -- and often funny -- light on her own parental struggles was an unexpected transition for this journalist used to reporting on gangs, crime, and serious social issues. But the real surprise came in how many people related to her raw takes on parenthood.

From her admission that changing diapers and constant feedings aren't all they're cracked up to be, to missing her career and "me" time, to discovering the pure joy of watching her children grow, Small Victories: The Off-Camera Life of an On-Camera Mom is a month-by-month progression of one woman's journey through the early years of parenting, and the strength and solidarity she discovers by sharing her story with the community.

Molly Grantham is an Emmy-award winning anchor and investigative reporter in Charlotte, North Carolina. Besides her public and often nutty job, she also balances motherhood, social media madness, and the swirling cycle of life. She graduated from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in Charlotte with her husband, two children, and Wonderdog Fisher. She doesn't suffer fools, is in love with the written word, and dreams of being a mermaid able to spend every day at the beach.
