Description of Mary Beth Lagerborg, author of In the Wee Hours:

Mothers of young children are often short on sleep and sometimes short on inspiration, too. The only quiet time they have may be while winding down at the end of a demanding day, or while handling the up-in-the-night cradling of a small child. Yet, busy moms hunger for inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and for the chance to laugh and have fun. These short stories, poems, letters, journal entries, anecdotes, and lullabies, by authors such as Liz Curtis Higgs, Erma Bombeck, Patsy Clairmont, Chonda Pierce, and Elisa Morgan, were collected with just such a mother dealing with a challenging, sometimes funny situation. The themes vary - from the role of mother, wife, daughter, woman - as do the styles of the selections, but each will entertain and give Mom a fresh perspective with which end one day and look forward to the next. The convenient "lay flat" binding allows moms to read while they tend to their child's needs as well as their own.
