If it's not one thing it's a mother : how faith, health, and old school parenting have shaped my life / Sabrina Ciceri.

Summary:

Sabrina Ciceri shows us that it's all about our mothers in If it's Not One Thing, It's a Mother. No matter how you feel about her, your mom had a massive impact on who you are, how you act, and how your life has turned out. Seeing how our mothers made decisions through the years raising us can lead to a great deal of doubt and guilt. We can stop that process and turn those feelings into commitment, awareness, ambition and determination to do it better. Enjoy her journey through faith, health, and old school parenting. From Childhood to marriage, to being a mother of six (four of which are adopted), and now a Ya Ya (grandmother) to four and counting, Sabrina invites you on the same journey to your own story.--Back cover of book.
