Belle Boggs broke away from her two-year-old daughter for a few days at a major writers' conference and reflected afterward on finding the balance between caring for her child and her career: "I have loved becoming a mother, and I love my life as a writer-teacher-mother, but I see now the loneliness that afflicts you on the other side. In particular, the loneliness of the working mother or working parent who accommodates our broken child care and parental leave system."
