I couldn't find a helpful-enough book about Work-at-home moms when my children were young. So I experienced minimal success with my business and our family is still intact! Now that the kids are in college (and still living at home) I have new-found time but "no-good" work habits and lack of focus. I really am starting from the ground up again, in a new direction, to make this work. I can't wait to read your book!
