An inspiration for moms everywhere!
"These stories made my heart smile."
-Catherine Oxenberg, actress
It will change your life forever.
Although you undoubtedly heard those six words many times after announcing that you were expecting, you couldn't have imagined what they really meant. And then the moment came. You held your baby in your arms and felt an outpouring of emotion like you had never known before. And just like they said, nothing was ever the same.
Motherhood is a lifelong journey that's as unique as every woman who embarks on it. No other role defines us as deeply and fills us with as much compassion, or tests our strength and patience more extremely! No other relationship fills our hearts with as much love, wonder and awe for another human being.
Although motherhood is a timeless calling, today's moms have unique challenges and rewards. In this book you'll learn from other mothers and seasoned grandmothers who share the universal worries, the tears and the laughs that come with the job, as well as the wisdom to help you be the very best mom you can be.
These stories are for every mom, whether you're an expectant or an adoptive mom, a stay-at-home or working mom, or a grandmother watching your grandchildren grow. Share this book with any mom to remind her of the profound role she will forever play in her child's life.
Synopsis
Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and the original Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul coauthor Marci Shimoff are joined by experienced Chicken Soup coauthor Heather McNamara on this all-new exploration of the joys, frustrations and rewards of motherhood. These heartwarming stories celebrate the defining moments of motherhood from giving birth to making special memories to (never really) letting go. The tone ranges from the touching to the hilarious, but all these previously unpublished stories contain the insight and joy that makes Chicken Soup the perfect way to touch a woman's heart. This book is an inspiring read for mothers at any stage of motherhood--from expectant mothers through grandmothers.
Key Features Chicken Soup books for mothers are always strong sellers and have been perennial best-sellers during the Mother's Day and Christmas holiday seasons (the Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul books have sold over five million copies). The stories from veteran moms and grandmothers will offer much-needed inspiration for mothers who sometimes feel overwhelmed or under-appreciated. The short story format is very appealing for busy moms who don't have time for a long read.
