Dealing with the Mother You Had - or Still Contend With
Dealing with the Mother You Had - or Still Contend With

Review:You probably need to read this book anyway. I actually knew I did, but wasn't sure what to do about them. This is what sets this book apart. Not only can you identify the type of Mom you have (or more than one type) and the issues and immaturity you may have, but you learn how to become "reparented" into adulthood. The emphasis is not the typical "parent bashing" you get from other books, but a balanced and sensitive approach to becoming a responsible adult. Read more

House of Secrets
House of Secrets

Review:This story was exceptional, as I've come to expect from Tracie Peterson. The way she is able to twist several story lines into one major theme keeps the reader fully engaged. It's hard to put her books down, which is the types of stories I like best. Read more

How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate
How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate

Review:If it wasn't for its horribly cheap paper quality, I'd have given a 4 or 5 star review based on its content. It's rough on my fingers every time I turn the page. It not only feels cheap, but also looks cheap. The same review applies for all of her other books, unfortunately - same cheap editor. Read more

The Twelve Gifts of Birth (Twelve Gifts Series)

Review:THE TWELVE GIFTS OF BIRTH is a beautiful story for adults and children. My recent experience with buying books from different sellers on Amazon has been a little disconcerting. I bought several books sold as new recently from different buyers. Four books were inscribed by previous owners. When I buy a new book it should not have been a previous gift. I was reimbursed for the books. The current book I bought was also previously inscribed. I am complaining because none of the sellers said the book... Read more

Review:I just happened upon the book and the boomama blog through a mutual friend's tweet. Where have I been??? I instantly connected with the "feeling" of home and what "home" is all about.

Be prepared to laugh out loud with tears streaming down your face and a kleenex in hand..... GOOD TIMES! Enjoy!!!! Headed out to buy another copy for a "non-southerner"... Read more

From the Diary of a Teenage Mom - Read Between the Lines

Review:Omg I loved this book!! Jenelle has always been one of my favorite teen moms. I've been watching Jenelle since day 1 since her episode of 16 and pregnant. She has really really turned her life around and for the better. She felt like it was time to throw in the towl from her old life and start fresh and that she did. Im so proud of the woman and mother she has become for her kids and really am rooting for her to get her little boy back! I'm so thrilled she shared part of her childhood with her f... Read more
