That city-girl is Rebecca Woolf, who at 23, after the \"holy shit, I'm pregnant\" realization, decides to keep the baby, marry the boyfriend (in Vegas no less), and figure out how to wed her rock n' roll lifestyle and impending motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith humor, honesty, and renegade insight, Rebecca makes the transition from life as an odd-job doing commitment-phobic, chain-smoking, irresponsible party-girl to life as a work-at-home mother with a different kind of social life. Throughout, Rebecca doesn't relinquish the token qualities of her free-spirited, pre-baby self; rebelling against both the \"soccer mom,\" and \"young mother\" stereotypes, challenging herself to grow up without outgrowing her dreams, and most importantly embracing motherhood without a map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRockabye\u003c\/i\u003e explores the coming together of mother and son and their mutual coming of age.
