One Mom To Another: Be Kind to Yourself, Embrace the Good, Find Joy in the Everyday

November 2, 2019 By LDSPMA Leave a Comment

by Cynthia Anderson—

For every mother who feels she is coming up short, Cynthia Anderson has a message: be kind to yourself, embrace the good, and find joy in the everyday. In One Mom to Another, Cynthia uses her decades of experience as a mother of seven (and as of this writing, a grandmother to twenty-three) to shed light on the trials, tribulations, humor, and (yes) eternal joy of motherhood. With her humorous and sincere conversational style, she recounts the ups and downs, mistakes and triumphs of her family, applying the life lessons she learned along the way to moms everywhere. One Mom to Another encourages mothers to use a new yardstick of success and have confidence in their individual talents. Part observational humor and part inspiring memoir, Cynthia’s insights into motherhood are sure to encourage moms to take a deep breath, put on their muck boots, and wade into the fray.
