For more than a dozen years, readers all over the country have checked in weekly with Marguerite Kelly's The Family Almanac syndicated column for help and advice in dealing with issues facing today's families. Now, fans of her column and her immensely popular book, The Mother's Almanac, will be thrilled with the arrival of this new title as Marguerite Kelly describes how challenging parenting can be and how anyone be as encouraging, supportive, and enthusiastic about the joys and rewards it will bring.
When things get CRAZY, I pick up this book. It helps make sense of things and put them back into perspective. No one said child-rearing was easy, nor dealing with adult family matters either! But these are life's events and we must deal with them. Marguerite helps one take a step back and look at the "big" picture. She has a strong value system and delicately but firmly applies that to the present day. She is thoughtful, wise, and incredibly caring. I discovered her through the Washington Post, where she has a weekly column called "Family Almanac". She's terrific and you can check her out on-line through the Washington Post. Once you do, you'll want all of her books!
