I was hooked by the author's backstory--she was studying to become a priest in hopes that the Catholic church would change its ways. Now she has 4 kids and looks for deeper meaning and meditations in her family-focused life. The book feels a little too train-of-thought-driven and disjointed at times, *yet* I found many gems and ways of considering things that are continuing to be valuable to me. It's our spring Mary Circle book.

The cheesy title doesn't do this book justice. It's an honest, reflective compilation of stories on spirituality and motherhood. Easy to read one a day when you have just a bit of time.
