What They're Saying

"Because I never--despite the obvious loss of tread and brain cells that redounds from having seven children--considered motherhood a plight, a burden, a destroyer of intimacy, and a stake through the heart of creativity, I find Paula Spencer's book bold, true, and a hoot."

--Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Cage of Stars, and mom of seven

"A great message and a great read. I want to give a copy to every mom and mom-to-be I know. Reminds me of Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions."

--Susan Hayes, Woman's Day features editor

"Momfidence is perfect mom food-good for you and a real treat. It's smart, inspiring, and funny, and makes you proud to be a mother."

--Janet Chan, editorial director, The Parenting Group

"Momfidence is mom-derful!"

--Harvey Karp, MD, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block
