The popular author of
If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules (1999) now takes on motherhood. Carter-Scott departs from the these-are-the-rules format that has served her well in several other follow-up books and delivers, instead, a tender tribute to mothers that borders on corny. There is just enough practical advice, though, to keep it useful, although all 10 of her "truths" should be obvious to anyone; for instance, is it really a revelation that "having a child changes your life" or that "a mother has many roles"? Still, for new mothers especially, these truisms might serve to keep them grounded, because so many other books paint too rosy a picture. With stories from the front lines, though wanting for irony, this little handbook is sure to be a hit with patrons who are after a quick, comfy homage to motherhood. REVWR
