There is very little focus on raising children alongside your writing career and much more about how having been a mother (or being a parent) can give you the resources (both mental and environmental) to be a fantastic writer.

Even though my kids are grown and gone, I bet I can use some of her tips. This is a great book review, and I will probably add it to my ‘to buy’ list.

It's wonderful to have books like this. Thanks for your comments! It sure is tough to juggle the responsibilities of other areas of our lives and our writing. It’s wonderful to have books like this.

THEN YOU'LL ALL SUFFER AS I DO!!! *manical laugh* *grins* Honestly, I already struggle to scrap coins together to buy books. I have an overflowing wishlist on Amazon and I already have a pile I haven't started reading yet.<br/><br/>I'm glad you've all enjoyed the review. I think these sorts of books are a valuable part of developing your career. Nurses constantly have to continue training in new techniques and go to courses, in fact many jobs do. Books are a part of that continued training that help us in our everyday. :-) AH HA!!!
