5.0 out of 5 stars Essays of support and enlightenment for mothers., November 20, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Discovering Motherhood (Paperback)

Discovering Motherhood puts into words the joys and frustrations
that all parents face in essays that echo and expand the mothering
experience. The focus is on the mother that chooses home over career:
supporting and validating a choice that is often fraught with mixed
emotions. Discovering Motherhood is a wonderful choice for
expectant/new parents who wish to reflect on the emotions of mothering.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible support for all mothers!, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Discovering Motherhood (Paperback)

How exciting and satisfying to read a book of stories, and feel that you could have written so many of them. That wonderful "you took the words right out of my mouth" thought keeps reoccuring! This book legitimizes and supports so many feelings that new and veteran moms have along the road of parenting. Each story is so candidly written that you feel you are empathizing with your best friend. I have marked some stories that energize me as a mom, to read periodically. Otherwise, I enjoy flipping randomly to share another mother's intimate perspective. This is a terrific shower gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must-read" for new mothers; great for ALL moms, March 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Discovering Motherhood (Paperback)

I first read this book soon after my baby was born. Reading a book by other *real-life* moms was just what I needed then, to know it was okay to have bad days, and to share the joy of the good days. Since then, this book is my first choice of a gift for friends and relatives expecting their first baby.
