This is a good one for busy moms since it's a collection of short stories and you can just pick at it here and there, but also good for anyone who is interested in a broad range of reflections on being a parent, being a child and being a woman. Not every story was a winner...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14174093">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some interesting essays, but mostly these were prattles of women who think they're intellectual.  Some of the hedonism and perspectives were a bit shocking to me, such as when one mom talked about taking a bath with her seven-year-old son!  Not much that was really worth reading.  ]]></body>
