  <default-description>How do we get women to stop saying, &quot;I'm just a mother&quot;? Or, &quot;I used to be such and such, but now I'm just a mother&quot;?  When Jane Clayson Johnson, former network news correspondent and co-host of The Early Show attended a gathering of nearly fifty LDS couples, she was shocked to hear the women in the group describe themselves as &quot;just a mother.&quot;  She had not expected Latter-day Saint women to have the same undervalued view of moetherhood as the rest of the world.  Jane's fascinating personal story and unique insights will inspire women to raise their awareness and perception of this important--and often difficult--role.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a truly enjoyable &amp; inspiring read.  I didn't know who Jane Clayson was until I read this book.  I commend her for choosing the right path with her decision to leave a prestigious career when she found out she was excpecting her first child.  I love the quotes &amp; reminders &amp; the profound...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53694457">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book! It really makes you stop and think about the role of a mother and how very important it is. It's a very easy read and so uplifting not just to mothers, but for grandmothers, daughters, sisters and those who are thinking about being a mother some day.

    <body><![CDATA[One of those books that gets published because the person is famous (not for being a writer or story teller, I might add).  I saw her at Time Out for Women giving tid bits of this book and I couldn't keep my eyes open 'cause she was so boring.  I guess she doesn't know the difference between enterta...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13318837">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What a great book -- makes you glad you are a mother.  This book helped me realize that even if all the work I do as a mother goes unnoticed or unappreciated (which a lot of daily tasks of a mother are that way) that the only way to find true joy and happiness in being a mother is through my own per...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29750643">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I would have liked this book more if she hadn't already lived out a good career and made most of her dreams come true before she became a mother.  But she had a lot of good thoughts and words of encouragement.  And I agree that it's okay to feel happy and proud of being a mother.]]></body>

That all women have the ability to &quot;love, guide, teach, lift and inspire.&quot;<br/><br/>She told the most beautiful stories of people she had intervied.
