From the Back Cover

"It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from giving them advice."--Anne Tyler"Every minute in the presence of a child takes seven minutes off your life."--Barbara Kingsolver "In the end, it's not what you do for your children, but what you've taught them to do for themselves."--Ann Landers It's the unfortunate plight of mothers that their children don't take "Because I said so" to heart. It would certainly save everyone a lot of time and energy. But then we would miss out on all the other wonderful bits of wisdom and passionate concern that often follow this statement. Face it, most of us would have to admit--somewhat begrudgingly--that it is our mothers who really know best 99.9 percent of the time. And if we are smart enough to listen, we just may learn a few things. Mom Is Always Right gathers together the wisest and most memorable words ever said by and about the women who have held our hands along the obstacle course of life.
