b'Annie and Chris talk about "alternative" visions of motherhood for Mother\'s Day this year, and it takes a weirdly dark turn. Sorry.

Chris\'s class books: +\\xa0Dear Ijeawele by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie +\\xa0The Mothers by Brit Bennett +\\xa0The First Bad Man by Miranda July +\\xa0Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel +\\xa0Pregnant Butch by A. K. Summers +\\xa0Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu +\\xa0Beloved by Toni Morrison +\\xa0The Babadook *CORRECTION: The quote from\\xa0Beloved is "You your own best thing, Sethe," not "You your best self," as previously reported.
