Books published by publisher Saalfield Publishing Co.

It’s no secret that parenting books are a dime a dozen. Certain books will tell you what type of fruit your baby most resembles this week or the best method for calming a colicky newborn. Others will teach you how to potty train your toddler in three days or convince your four-year-old to eat something other than ketchup. But what about the rest of it—all the other million little moments that make up being a parent? Known for her wit and honesty about raising young children through her popular blog One Mother to Another, Melissa Mowry brings us a collection of stories about those little details—the kinds of things you whisper to a mom friend over a glass of wine but rarely hear anyone talk about out loud. In a relatable style that’s both funny and raw, Mowry tackles subjects that span pregnancy loss and marital growing pains to mom guilt and the occasional desire to run away from home. If you’ve ever read a parenting book and wished for a little more, you’ll find One Mother to Another to be a fresh new take on the world’s most talked-about subject.
