Can you hide them from the waiting world?

I saw this bit on the best TV Moms on Cnn.com and it make me think of books about mothers. I'm not talking about the mommy wars books, but rather fiction on the subject. I am mostly drawing a blank, but I did come up with Perrotta's Little Children. Even that is more about relating to other parents than being a mother. It's odd that I can't pick one out, what is a good one?
