About this author

A new, revised and expanded edition of "Mojo Mom: Nurturing Your Self While Raising a Family," has just been published by Gotham Books. "Mojo Mom" leads women on a path that starts with self care and culminates in women's leadership.

This edition features a brand-new chapter, "Beyond 'Opting Out' and 'The Mommy Wars.'" New material is included throughout, including an index and extensive bibliography. "Mojo Mom" is the perfect gift for a new mother; also an engaging book club selection or women's studies text.

While I was visiting New York I thought this would be a good time to pick up "Nanny Returns." It was compulsively readable in a travel-book way, once I accepted the fact that this was not going to be high literature, which was evident from the first...more

At various points my opinion of "Swimming" traversed a roller-coaster veering from one to five stars: down, up, and down again. "Swimming" defies easy categorization, and is certainly not a typical sports bio. The swimming itself, and especially the...more

I really wanted to like "The Last Secret," and I can see that the author is a talented writer, but ultimately I found this tale unrealistic and disappointing. Every aspect of "The Last Secret" is exaggerated and overblown: Nora's supposedly "perfect"...more
