I was given this book as a gift when my daughter was 3 months old. It was the best post partum gift I received! The daily readings help you to keep things in perspective and renew your spirit. I have bought this for two of my friends who recently gave birth. It is a must have for any new first-time Mom!

I bought this book on a day when I was feeling overwhelmed caring for my 10-month old baby. It really hit the spot. As a previous reviewer said, it helped me not feel so all alone, and validated my feelings of frustration, etc. This book is the mental equivalent of a nice hot bath!

I received this wonderful book as a gift. I often only had the time and energy to read just one page before bed. It always comforted me. I always give this book to new moms.

As a new mother, I absolutely adored this book. The author shared all of the thoughts and feelings of the new mother, which were the same as I was having about my new role in such a beautiful and heartfelt way, which helped me feel less isolated.

This is now one of my favorite things to give to mothers-to-be at baby showers!

I love this book. The meditations are so touching and are appropriate for a new mother. Would make a great gift.

After my second child's birth I was really stressed out with the jealousy of my older child, my husband's long work hours, and my post-partum depression. Beth's words of wisdom helped alleviate my guilt, especially when I felt like I was anything but an ideal mother. Her humor raised a smile and she tackled some topics that, unfortunately, mothers don't always talk about because we're afraid to admit that we don't love every aspect of motherhood (which, btw, is very natural).
Beth also encouraged me to take time out for myself and when with my children, to truly enjoy them. I still carry this book around with me....

I have 4 children...and I read parts of this book after each one. The "New" in the title didn't only mean first time mom to me...I enjoyed the book over and over.

This book was wonderful when I was a first time mother of twins. It helped me keep it all in perspective. When I was most frazzled, it made me realize that whether their stages brought good or bad, babyhood is precious and temporary.

Received this book at a baby shower and am re-reading it following the birth of my second baby. The messages are inspiring and remind me that others have been there before me, and that I am not alone in my feelings and experiences. A great gift for any new (or repeat!!!) mom.

I bought this book after the birth of my first child and read it again after the birth of my second. The brief passages and words of wisdom were easy to read and comforting. I was often only awake enough to read a few pages at a time, but loved every word of them.

This book will help any new mother know that she is not alone with the issues and feeling she is facing. It made me laugh out loud and cry while reading it-no matter where I was.

As a result, I have bought this book for every new mother I know. It is a book that you just want to share with a new mother because you know it will provide her with support and comfort in the wee hours of the morning or late at night.

If you are a new mother, or know of a new mother or new-mother-to-be, this is the perfect book!
