Young moms lit is becoming quite a genre in the Christian publishing world – short books for the overwhelmed and exhausted.
This one is full of the usual familiar allusions to unwashed dishes and children and the regular experience of embarrassment and shame at the misbehaviour of your children. In many ways this genre is a healthy redress to ideas of apple-pie supermomism, which sadly seem to haunt many young Christian women. At any rate, if they feel guilty or incompetent, they know that they are not alone.
