Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society.

A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context-the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color. In Essential Labor, Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be.

"He smiled when he didn't want to," his mother notes.

He eats nonkosher pizza for the first time and has late-night discussions about whether he believes in God.

Throughout, she reflects on both the psychological tension and joy of choosing a new lifestyle, one in which she drives on Shabbat and celebrates new holidays such as Halloween. She became a single parent, sharing custody of her three children with her ex-husband Aaron, whom she met as an undergrad at Columbia University. After a lifetime devoted to religion and her family, she decided to navigate the secular world for the first time. Novelist Mirvis ( Visible City) intimately chronicles her divorce and her separation from modern Orthodox Judaism in this bold memoir. ![]() |
