"I read the entire Mom Egg through more than once, and The Mom Egg is extraordinary.  The writers are verbalizing an area of mothering that is not often spoken about.  Mothers are sharing their genuine experience, and expressing real, primal feelings.  In places, it was dark and shocking.  I deeply enjoyed it.  I want to congratulate you." ---Marion Woodman, PhD, internationally acclaimed thinker and writer on the new feminine spirituality.
