Got this for Mother's Day last year and now I'm giving it to a couple of friends this year. The part on the inside cover got me! Love that it's made up of so many different writings from all kinds of moms too, and the cover is pretty!

This book will have you in tears and laughter, and you’ll find yourself feeling seen and understood. You’ll find yourself saying in relief, “Oh, that’s not just me then?” It’s pure camaraderie and solidarity. I wondered if all the stories would cater mostly to the typical mom with young kids, but it speaks to a wider audience than that. There’s stories for moms of teens and adult kids, moms who have lost children (both inside and outside the womb), moms with children who have diseases or disabilities, stories for moms whose full-time job is in the home and for moms who work outside the home, and more. This would be a beautiful gift for your mom or your friend who’s a mom!
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK!

So God Made a Mother is a compilation of stories full strong moms (& weak moments) in good & tough times. As a mom sometimes it's hard to talk to other people about your own struggles or insecurities as a parent so it's nice to have these stories to read from relatable moms in situations we all can relate to. I really like her Facebook page, Her View From Home, and the book is just more of that! 💜

This book is for every mother. It’s for the mother of a newborn. The mother of a toddler. The mother of a school-aged child. The mother of a teenager. The mother of an adult child. The mother of a child in heaven. I saw myself in the pages of this book. I saw past me, exhausted with little sleep or time for herself. I saw future me, navigating life with a child who doesn’t need me like he once did. I saw present me, enjoying the moments but knowing they go oh so fast. This book is relatable, comforting, encouraging, inspirational, and just beautiful. I cried, I laughed, I cried some more, and I nodded along thinking “yes, oh my gosh, this,” over and over again. This book is absolutely a must read.

This book shows motherhood in all its glory and struggle. Writers share their stories of grief and joy, successes and failures, hopes and fears. It is in turn, sweet, evocative and raw. Here you will find stories about parenting, marriage, self-discovery, and so much more. This thoughtfully curated collection will bring smiles, laughs, and likely some tears. It’s not a stretch to say it is for anyone who is, has, or loves a mother.
Every mom would enjoy this book.

Mom's everywhere. Have you ever wondered if you were the only one who is going through all things motherhood? This book is the community you are searching for. Read this book for a good cry and for a good laugh but mostly read it to feel like you aren't alone. It takes a village to raise kids they say; I say it takes a village for the mom to feel supported. This is your village.

Whatever kind of mom you are - this is for you. You are not alone. This book makes you feel like someone reached inside you to pull out your own story. Like, “wow, did they write this for me?” [insert sobbing] When I first became a mom I felt an overwhelming (good) sense of the new community I was a part of. This book is like a giant hug of someone saying “I get it.”
