[Anne White · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very eighties, but the message is still good: children are a gift, not an inconvenience. The mom-contributors to this book (who must now all be grandmas if not great-grandmas) were a resourceful and determined bunch, especially in a decade of Yuppies and high expectations. Mended clothes, old furniture?--family values were what really mattered. I especially liked their own childhood memories of parents who did the same things, made the same sacrifices, before that way of thinking became the exception instead of the norm.
