"Don't think if you are a good mother you will be happy'" writes Alexandra Stoddard. "Be happy and you will be good at everything that is meaningful and valuable in your life. Raising a good child to become a good person is a most honorable goal that begins with a mother's own inner transformation."
In this wise little book Alexandra Stoddard not only celebrates what mothers know - and what we would like them to know - she encourages them to attend to their own happiness in the quest to become better mothers. From giving overtly practical advice ("Simplify As You Go") to taking a more philosophical approach ("Know the Difference Between Needs and Wants") to offering a comforting pat on the back ("Let Go of Fear")' Stoddard reaches out to mothers with words that will resonate with their own hopes and struggles.
Speaking from her own experience as a mother and grandmother and relying on the many conversations she has had with mothers and daughters in preparation for writing this book' Stoddard gives us the perfect gift - a wonderful year-round present for every mother and mother-to-be.
