$16.95 (paperback) – The ABC’s of Being Mom: Advice and Support from the Mom Next Door, Birth through Kindergarten
Moms enter the world of motherhood with no sense of the impact that it will have upon them. The ABC’s of Being Mom, with its abundance of wisdom acquired directly from the trenches of motherhood struggles, is that roadmap. The author, Karen Bongiorno, was a mother of two children, a daughter and a son, who have both graduated from college and launched independently. Before motherhood, she had a career in private banking in Los Angeles and on Wall Street in New York. Her child-raising years were often filled with worry and the overriding question of “now what?!” This book is her answer to those concerns. Bongiorno recently passed away at age 61 after a sudden illness. Available at www.amazon.com and www.bookshop.org.
