Momma Zen ~ A Review
Guest Author - Samten Tsomo

When I was pregnant I read everything I could get my hands on about parenting. Every book was convinced that only their way was the best for my baby. I found the middle ground and advice that works in the book, Momma Zen.



Miller does a great job of honestly portraying a mothers struggle to do what is best for herself and her daughter. Her own story is interwoven with sound advice that she even explains how and why she comes to her own conclusions and how it has helped her -something that is rare in advice books for parents, at least in my experience. The book also has a handy reference guide in the back that points to chapters that deal specifically with issues that tend to occur with all parents.

I enjoyed the book because it was an easy to read and understand. Best of all is that while I didn’t want to put the book down, I had no trouble coming back into the story when I had to stop to chase my toddler. In other words it is a great book for parents who only have short intervals of time to devote to reading. This is a great reference for new and not so new Buddhist (and non-Buddhist) parents.
