Book description
'Ann Pleshette Murphy is one of my heroes' T. Berry Brazelton, M. D.,
bestselling author of What Every Baby Knows
This is the book every mum needs, and it hasn't been available until
now. The Seven Stages of Motherhood
looks at the experience of parenting not only in the first year or two
of a baby's life, but right on through childhood and adolescence and
even into adulthood. Ann Pleshette Murphy argues that women evolve as
mothers throughout the lives of their children, and her book is intended
as a guide through this remarkable experience. Practical, sensible and
above all readable, it will be invaluable to first-time parents and
absolutely relevant to mothers of growing families.
'A beautiful insight into the joys and sorrows of motherhood, an
emotional lifeline to mothers everywhere as they journey through the
confusing yet rewarding stages of motherhood. Not to be missed' William
Pollack, author of Real Boys
'Heartwarming, witty and wise ... let Annie be your guide on this
charming tour through motherhood' Harvey Karp, MD, paediatrician and
author of The Happiest Baby on the Block
