Summary: A book to help you feel great about being home
Review: This book gives you examples of lots of women who have made something of their lives at home. It is inspiring and affirming for those considering choosing home over career, either temporarily or permanently. The authors have chosed a wide range of women so one can find many reasons for staying home and examples of women who find being home a fulfilling career in itself. I would recommend it for any person considering this life-changing option.

In the interests of full disclosure, I should mention that I was interviewed for this book and am mentioned in it. I was thrilled to be a part of this book, and delighted by the diverse group of women portrayed. It's nice to see that there are many people who value this choice, since so rarely are stay at home moms portrayed positively *and* realistically in the media.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Courageous women
Review: This book provides a platform for women behind the scenes and do not get the fame they deserve. Motherhood is the toughest job anyone will ever have and the women in this book are selfless enough to put their families first instead of a career. To comment on what one reader called lazy women is to say that person didn't truly read what these women do. One who works for her husband's liver transplant patients and their families to make sure they are provided for during difficult times. One who is a navy pilot's wife whose husband is away for six months at a time and for 9-10 months total out of the year and who has to be both a mom and dad. These women are anything but lazy. They are working 24 hours a day seven days a week to raise responsible little people and who are true partners in their marriage. I commend the authors of this book, the woman in the book as well as the women who struggle with this decision everyday. These women are all courageous!Thanks for such an amazing read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fascinating and Compelling Book
Review: This book really connected with me. A must read for every woman, no matter what her age, education or background. What really amazed me was that my husband found this book to be as interesting and compelling as I did. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mrs. Cleaver Doesn't Live Here
Review: This book reflects what it's like for me to be a stay at home mom. Multi-tasking, on the go, and always questioning whether it's a valid or important job to be ceo of my family. It's so disheartening to be at a social gathering when someone asks "And What Do You Do?" When you tell them you take care of your family full time, they walk away. Maybe this book will help people to see a more complete picture of todays full time mom. Probably it will help women who are at home not to feel that they are alone. You go girls!
