I hate self-help books. I don’t know if it’s because I feel like they’re too preachy or if I just don’t think the one-size-fits-all mentality really works.

What I do love is inspiring stories about other moms who have made motherhood work for them. Enter: Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Power Moms–101 Stories Celebrating the Power of Choice for Stay at Home and Work from Home Moms.

The title says it all — this book is about multi-tasking, high-performing women who come from all walks of life: from the stay-at-home mom to the career mom. I received a sampler of this book as I was making some difficult mom-related decisions and I felt a wave of peace wash over me. I read about other moms going through the same thing who, in the end, made the best decision for them and their family.

With stories by Dooce.com’s Heather Armstrong, Lynne Spears, Liz Lange, Mary Himes, Melora Hardin, Jodi Picoult, Jillian Reynolds, Jane Green, Elise Chidley, and other power moms all over the country it’s a go-to source for every mom who needs advice, perspective, or a good laugh!

We are thrilled to give away three copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Power Moms. To enter, simply email us at giveaways@milehighmamas.com with “Power Mom” in the subject line. Please include your mailing address. Contest deadline is March 21, 2009.
