For every woman who's passed off store-bought cakes as her
own at the school bake sale comes an honest look at
motherhood. In an ideal world, mothers would have time to hand-sew
their kids' costumes for the school play, prepare all-
organic meals, and volunteer in the classroom at the drop
of a hat. In reality, most moms have to settle for plopping
their little ones in front of SpongeBob so that they can
prepare yet another chicken nugget-based dinner, guiltily
convinced they're falling down on the job. In Good-Enough Mother, René Syler shares how she learned to
chuck perfection for practicality. She shows other women
seeking to balance family, work, and some semblance of a
personal life how to happily join the ranks of good-enough
mothers who occasionally serve breakfast for dinner yet
give their children plenty of what really matters -- love,
time, and support. Whether it's dealing with annoying Super-Moms, bluffing
through a third grader's math homework, or coping with the
words that strike terror into every parent's heart ("Your
son's teacher on line one"), the welcome empathy and sage
advice of Good-Enough Mother will have every modern mom
laughing in relief and recognition.
