I keep re-reading this book whenever I need some extra strength. Danielle Kennedy has touched upon the sensitive area of how to cope with working, achieving success and still making quality time for your family.
The author uses true stories to illustrate her points and ends each chapter with a list of things to help you reach your goals. She manages to fill this self-help volume with fresh, positive thinking for the reader and never allows you to feel sorry for yourself.
The thrust has some religious underpinnings, but even as a member of another faith, I felt the message was so strong and so clear that it didn’t really matter. She makes you identify with each woman’s situation and applies solutions based on their experiences.
The best book I have read on the subject, and I’ve read them all.
