Our Sunday Visitor has put together a handy and attractive book for mothers, which is a multi-faceted endeavor. But Donna-Marie, as a good writer and mother of five, knows well that mothers are also daughters and fellow pilgrims with their children, leading and learning all the while. This book will fit easily into a purse or diaper bag so that it can be read anywhere - offering its spiritual morsels for the nursing mother, the waiting-room mother, the car-pool mother, and the woman who at one sitting can hardly absorb more than the assurances that Mary is her mother, too.

Containing far more than initially meets the eye, the author covers the basics of prayer, the wisdom of the Church, and the essence of virtue in this challenging vocation, calling to mind the vision of holiness and spiritual meaning when all the reader can see are dishes, demands, and diapers. Ordinary life masks the beauty of the motherly vocation, but this little book reminds the reader of its true value on every page. This would be an excellent gift for new - or not so new mothers.
