I love this book because it helps me understand the unique stressors and challenges of today's young mothers. I am what you might call a Crone, and things were very different when my kids were young. I would turn them loose in the neighborhood and they would play from sunup to sundown. Today that would be considered neglectful and DSS would be called. Even though our experiences are different, my generation of mothers felt underappreciated and unseen, too. I also like the way this book celebrates mothers and all we give to our children.
