Mother Nurture: Life Lessons from the Mothers of America's Best and Brightest

by Stephanie Hirsch

Mother Nurture: Life Lessons from the Mothers of America's Best and Brightest Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Where did Beyoncé get her groove?

Where did Lance Armstrong get his drive?

Where did Steven Spielberg get his creative vision?

Every success story begins with . . . Mom

When Stephanie Hirsch gave birth to her son, she began to think about the kind of person she'd like him to be: generous, family oriented, loving, courageous, and professionally accomplished—maybe he'd turn out like Steven Spielberg! But what, she wondered, had Spielberg's mother done so well?

What started out as one conversation with Steven Spielberg's mom became a quest to interview the mothers of some of the most talented artists, brilliant journalists, and dedicated athletes of our time.

Mother Nurture is an inspiring collection of fifty-two stories filled with commonsense advice and memorable personal tales from caring mothers whose children have reached the apex of their fields, from sports, politics, and music to literature, entertainment, and business.

If you're expecting, or a parent, or you just want to thank the woman who raised you, Mother Nurture is both the perfect antidote to piles of contradictory parenting advice and a celebration of the gift of motherhood.

Book News Annotation:

It's hard to imagine a better Mother's Day present than this collection of inspirational stories from the mothers of some of the most accomplished celebrities, athletes and musicians on the planet. Hirsch, a New York City entrepreneur, was prompted to interview the mothers of famous people such as Steven Spielberg, Beyoncé Knowles, Matt Lauer and Christie Brinkley after the birth of her own child. She wondered how these mothers succeeded so well, and this book is a pleasant mixture of anecdotes and advice that often challenge conventional parenting techniques.
