Abigail Tucker

Abigail Tucker was the first staff writer for Smithsonian Magazine, where she still contributes. Her second book, MOM GENES, is both smart and accessible; an expertly researched and entertaining narrative about the biology of motherhood and the miraculous ways the human body transforms during this part of the life cycle. It’s vital reading for anyone who has ever wondered what rocks the hand that rocks the cradle.
