Barnhill's commitment to address the much-needed issue of expectations placed on Christian mothers is laudable. She does indeed stir up points to spark conversations that the church is less inclined to have. However, her tone and follow-through didn't do it for me. That is probably a matter of personal preference-- I don't have tangible points to say "she should have done this" or "this was lacking." It's hard to find a book on motherhood I can identify with, as there are thousands of ways to talk about it (and millions of ways to do it).

There were many times I wanted to throw this book across the room. At the time I thought the author was way off base with some of her statements. Especially about it being wrong to home school your kids or send them to private school because we're supposed to be "the light of the world". Our children are not "missionaries" to their schools. They're KIDS! I would have to read the book again to remember any more specifics, it's been a while, I don't remember really liking any of it though.
