Product Description

Where did Beyonce get her groove?

Where did Lance Armstrong get his drive?

Where did Steven Spielberg get his creative vision?

Every success story begins with . . . Mom

When Stephanie Hirsch gave birth to her son, she began to think about the kind of person she'd like him to be: generous, family oriented, loving, courageous, and professionally accomplished—maybe he'd turn out like Steven Spielberg! But what, she wondered, had Spielberg's mother done so well?

What started out as one conversation with Steven Spielberg's mom became a quest to interview the mothers of some of the most talented artists, brilliant journalists, and dedicated athletes of our time.

Mother Nurture is an inspiring collection of fifty-two stories filled with commonsense advice and memorable personal tales from caring mothers whose children have reached the apex of their fields, from sports, politics, and music to literature, entertainment, and business.

If you're expecting, or a parent, or you just want to thank the woman who raised you, Mother Nurture is both the perfect antidote to piles of contradictory parenting advice and a celebration of the gift of motherhood.

4 out of 5 stars An insider's view   May 5, 2008

This book was really interesting. It was fun to read about all of these successful people's mothers. I found it a bit monotonous from chapter to chapter, but I think that is because the author gave us apples-to-apples comparisons between families. I would recommend it to anyone who is a new mother or who has ever wondered what the role of parent plays in raising a Good Person.
