Lucy Little, August 23, 2007 (view all comments by Lucy Little)
An excellent book for Buddhists who are mothers or mothers seeking calmness in raising children. In my opinion, the Buddhist ideas in the book are applicable to mothers of any faith. I was most struck by the statement that studies have shown that mothers hit their all-time low in self-esteem after having a second child. At this point, mothers often need more in the way of spiritual well-being and just ways to find serenity in a tumultuous day. I pick this book up now and then for a quick read to reclaim the calm within me.
