Things Good Mothers Know
A Celebration
In this warm and wise book, Alexandra Stoddard not only celebrates what mothers know -- and what we would like them to know -- she encourages them to attend to their own happiness in the quest to become better mothers. Raising a good child to become a good person begins with a mother's own inner transformation. Don't think if you are a good mother you will automatically be happy, she cautions. Be happy and you will be good at everything that is meaningful and valuable in your life! From giving practical advice, to taking a more philosophical approach, to offering a comforting pat on the back, Stoddard reaches out to mothers with words that will encourage, support, and cheer them on.

  Welcome to my section of my wife, Alexandra Stoddard’s website.

As a practicing counselor-at-law and a former prosecutor of organized crime, I began writing legal briefs and documents which are pretty dry and stilted.

One day I interrupted Alexandra—who was, of course, writing a book—to tell her a story about my family excursion as a boy to Bermuda in 1937. After listening patiently, she finally said, "Why don’t you write it down?" So I did—and I was off on a stimulating and exciting adventure of my own. The result has been happy and rewarding: five books of non-fiction in fifteen years.

I have set each of them out with book jacket and brief description of each one for your consideration. Use the appropriate order form for purchase directly from me and a promise to inscribe each copy as you wish for yourself, family and friends.

All good wishes,

Peter
