Keeper of a Mother's Dreams by Paula Moldenhauer. My belly swollen with child number 3, I sat amidst dirty laundry piles and wondered what happened to my dreams. While being a stay-at-home mom had always been on the list of plans for my life, I'd thought I could do it all. As a college student, dreaming of my future, I'd worked it out.

Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of." Why just go through the motions of getting an education, sort of "filling in the blanks", when you can develop a true love for learning and for great books?
