Synopsis
Susan Alexander Yates is an author who has truly been there. When her twin daughters were born, they joined siblings ages two, four, and seven.

Susan is honest about the frustrations of parenting, yet encourages parents through her own experiences. She offers a biblical perspective on family life, inspiring mothers (and fathers ) to create a loving atmosphere, find good role models, and shape a Christian home.
