All Moms Go To Heaven [Paperback]

Dean Hughes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2005

In All Moms Go to Heaven, well-known LDS writer Dean Hughes describes the summer he spent taking care of the kids while his wife, Kathy, worked on her master's degree. After a few weeks of drying tears (sometimes his own), changing diapers, and watching Sesame Street, Dean came to understand what mothers really do and why they're so important. In this thoughtful and often hilarious book, you'll find plenty to ponder and to laugh about.

Review

I really love this book!!!!!!, May 07, 2005 By Yazmin I just finish reading the first chapter! But I really wanted to say that it made me cry and smile at the same time! This MAN (or mom?) knew how to put into words what it really is like to being a mother. I can't express all the emotions that the role of a mother have. I'm a new mother of a one year old baby. And I though that I was the onlyone who felt that way. But now I see that I'm not alone! Thanks a lot!! Loved the booklet shared with many, June 04, 2005 By Evelyn I found this to be an absolutly delightful little book. I purchased 8 copies and gave them to my daughters, my daughter-in-laws and several friends for Mother's day but then I like all of Dean Hughes books and have read all of them that I am aware of. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

I hate to go negative on a book review, especially for a writer whose books I have enjoyed, but All Mom's Go to Heaven was a great disappointment to me.
I purchased this book on my Kindle and enjoyed the first part where the author talked about the summer of 1973 where he was the "mom" in his house raising the kids while his wife worked or went to classes.
I purchased this book to read to my wife at bedtime.
The first part of the book is really funny. His stories of a father's challenges of being home with and raising small children are hilarious. But after that, it shifts to what seemed to me of an old man going on and on about his kids and grandkids. I was getting bored reading it to my wife, and last night I said, "Is this getting boring?" She said it was, so I said, "How about if I just quit and read something else?" She liked that and I switched to another book.
Have you ever read a book where eventually you didn't care how it ended and reading it was a chore? I struggled thru 62% of the book on my Kindle before I gave up.
I would recommmend you save your money and just read the free sample. It is the best part. I have found Dean Hughes other books to be 4 or 5 stars, but not this one.

EVERY mom in the world needs to read this book. I had so many "me too" moments while reading it. He captured and verbalized so many of my "motherhood" stresses and made me realize that I am not alone in this job! FABULOUS!
