This book is actually a family career book to assist mothers get family-friendly work. And the author divides the career into four steps: ascertaining your needs, identifying your strengths, understanding the work arrangements, getting family-friendly work. To better explain her idea, the author uses several mothers’ real cases to analyze the potential problems and good solution to it by using steps she recommends. Also, in each step she listed several useful tips and interesting exercise to help you review yourself and find a way to solve it. I do think this is good book for moms to maintain a good family relationship and also college students can look at it in mom’s shoes for getting family-friendly work. And this book is easy and interesting to read as the author combines exercise, stories, tips together in this book rather than pure steps.
