I showed my copy of this book to several people and got the same absolutely instant reaction - What a beautiful book, especially for a new mum! This was my reaction, too. Without being pink and fluffy, this little book is packed with anecdotes and snippets of truth and wisdom, courage, love and - most of all - honesty! It's about real people with real things to say - but refreshingly unsappy. There's no 'getting-in-touch-with-your-feelings' sort of rubbish, no psycho-babble, none of the usual writing that makes you go 'Eugh!' Instead, it's a very special book full of wonderful snippets of perspectives on life from a mother's point of view. Guaranteed to make you smile - and guaranteed a place at the front of every mother's bookshelf. Don't let this one pass you by.
