Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripe — working, stay-at-home, part-time — and found a surprisingly similar trend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was "Shrek." As one mom put it, "Am I happy? The word that describes me best is challenged." This book uncovers the guilty secrets of moms today in their own words, and it offers real solutions so that mothers can step out of the madness and learn to love motherhood.
When this book was published, I was already a grandmother and soon became a great-grandmother. Maybe I found this book in the free bin of discarded books that was outside my bookstore — or it was on sale — or the title intrigued me.
This book attempts to answer the question of how Americans can develop our capacities to grow into life within the matrix of American culture. Exploring the psychological and social response which is prayer, the author concludes that the calling to mysticism (experienced as enjoyment of life) and prophecy (experienced as the fight to share life and criticize its enemies) make up adult spirituality.
