A Novel with Thoughts and Ponderings

SAHM I Am

Author: Meredith Efken ISBN: 0373785518 11/2005 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: STEEPLE HILL

A Grave Mistake by Stella Cameron

Success: Her workaholic husband is driving Dulcie Huckleberry around the bend. It's hard to love someone in sickness and in health when he's never home!

Art: Let the children express themselves, opines artistic Zelia Muzuwa, and then her son's head gets stuck inside a kitty scratching post...

Health: Surely aches and pains are normal in an active little boy, yet those of soccer-mom Jocelyn Millard's son don't seem to be going away.

Motherhood: Teen--mo-turned-farmer's -wife Brenna LIndberg can deal with the mud and the chickens, but what about her husband's desire for a child of his own?

Indiscretions: However youthful, they can come back to haunt you, learns pastor's wife Phyllis Lorimer.

Amends: These could stand to be made between officious list moderator Rosalyn Ebberly and her pampered sister, Veronica. Perhaps the other SAHM I AMers can teach these two something about sisterhood.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

SAHM I AM is a book of e-mail letters of several women who struggle with wife-hood and motherhood. I wouldn't call this a romantic read simply because being a wife and having small children are the most un-romantic years of a girl's life (but they are the most wonderful and loving years of a girl's life!). I would recommend this book to young marrieds and new mothers, but not to anyone looking for a plot-driven romantic read.
