Inspired by her relationship with her own daughter and informed by the numerous parents and teens she’s helped in her family workshops, Cherie Carter-Scott culls the ten truths she's observed about this special role:
1. Having a child changes your life.
2. Motherhood is an experience unlike any other.
3. A mother has many roles.
4. If you honor your children's essence, they will blossom.
5. Love shows up in many different forms.
6. As your child grows, so will you.
7. There will be highs and lows.
8. Remembering to care for yourself is essential.
9. There is no such thing as a perfect mother.
10. Motherhood is a process that never ends.
Part tribute, part handbook, The Gift of Motherhood exudes Carter-Scott's vitality and wit, offering moms a way to celebrate the joys and navigate the rough spots along their journey. Though every mother walks her own path and every child is unique, Motherhood shares certain universal truths. This gem of a book acknowledges and affirms that the experience of being a mother is astounding, overwhelming, miraculous, and above all, a gift.

      The popular author of "If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules" (1999) now takes on motherhood. Carter-Scott departs from the these-are-the-rules format that has served her well in several other follow-up books and delivers, instead, a tender tribute to mothers that borders on corny. There is just enough practical advice, though, to keep it useful, although all 10 of her "truths" should be obvious to anyone; for instance, is it really a revelation that "having a child changes your life" or that "a mother has many roles"? Still, for new mothers especially, these truisms might serve to keep them grounded, because so many other books paint too rosy a picture. With stories from the front lines, though wanting for irony, this little handbook is sure to be a hit with patrons who are after a quick, comfy homage to motherhood.
