The Mother in-Law’s Manual

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW’S MANUAL: Creating Relationships That Work for Ourselves and Our Children is being published by Bright Sky Press for release in May, 2009.

Mothers-in-law are too often portrayed as jokes or toxic elements in the family.  I am not a joke nor am I toxic, and this is true for most mother-in-laws.  Just as we wanted to be good mothers, most women want to be good mothers-in-law.  Sometimes, raising kids, we needed a new perspective, a dose of healthy advice or just a serving of sympathy to help us in the moment.  THE MOTHER-IN-LAW’S MANUAL provides all that for those of facing this last stage of parenting.
