Synopsis

"I know how to do anything--I'm a mom."--Roseanne Barr

Thanks, Mom! From pregnancy and giving birth to raising a child: motherhood is among the most profound, life-changing experiences a woman can have. Celebrities, both male and female, pay tribute to their mothers' warmth, wisdom, humor, and strength; some even hold forth on the ticklish subject of the mother-in-law. Many women also share their own feelings and knowledge, offering a cradleful of advice on the seemingly endless quandary of how to balance career and family. From Lady Bird Johnson: "Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them." Ralph Waldo Emerson amusingly notes, "There never was a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep." It's a valentine to all the women who take on this loving, lifelong role.
