Judy Bodmer is a generous writer, opening herself up and sharing deeply from her own experience. Approachable and down-to-earth, sincere. This book is written from a fundamentalist point of view, but if you don't mind that, you actually don't have to be either a fundamentalist or a mother to find this book worth reading (I am neither). If you appreciate a Christian perspective, you are even more likely to value this book. Interesting thoughts on mothers in the Bible, as well as issues today's mothers face--all the way from considering having a baby to being a grandmother (and a good mother-in-law!).
