Mother Academia course: book 1. Narrating as I go.

this book is stressful. Stress. Full. Full of stress.

A detour from my regularly scheduled program of secular child psychology and parenting books. (Which has been eye-opening, in fact, but just haven’t had the time to write proper reviews.)

A vaguely wealthy, self-absorbed, beautiful girl makes a right mess of things with other actually wealthy, self-absorbed, less beautiful individuals. That’s what’s going on.

Each chapter is a new gift to open. I feel like I’m taking a literature course but also learning a lot spiritually? Just finished the chapter on Kindness, and which I think was my favorite… besides the chapter on Faith… you should just read it too.

Thoroughly enjoying this one! Wow.

This is a re-read, I’m bringing my highlighter this time! Fantastic read for mothers.

Unbelievable! Totally engrossing.
