The Days Are Long, The Years Are Short

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Parenting is both a marathon and a moment—a journey of endless laundry, bedtime battles, and school pickups that somehow feels like it’s flying by. In this heartfelt and honest book, Dee Hogan captures the beautiful paradox of raising children: how the everyday chaos becomes the foundation of a lifetime of love.

Drawing from her own experiences as a mother, writer, and chronicler of real family life, Hogan offers a warm, deeply relatable reflection on the small, unseen moments that shape both parent and child. With gentle humor, poignant insight, and unflinching authenticity, she reminds us that while the days may stretch on forever, the years slip through our fingers before we know it.

Whether you’re in the thick of toddler tantrums or navigating the bittersweet milestones of adolescence, The Days Are Long, The Years Are Short is a companion for every parent seeking grace, perspective, and comfort in the messy, magical work of raising a family.
