If homeschooling has ever even crossed your mind, this is the perfect book to help you understand just what kind of things homeschoolers do all day. It's full of resources, though some of them are dated, and also offers helpful rebuttals to the most common homeschool criticisms.

Just a basic book with lots of personal stories. Somewhat outdated, but a good starter for me.

Reread this year. My favorite part are the excerpts from her journal.
