Written to be read during the mind-bogglingly short breaks parents get during their busy days, these pieces will help moms find solace through a wide range of viewpoints and issues not often discussed in mainstream magazines and parenting books—from dealing with rage to negotiating sleeping arrangements to experiencing the frustrations and joys of parenting a special-needs child.
