Secrets of a Mid-Life Mom

The Department of Health and Human Services recognizes mid-life motherhood as a certifiable trend in today's society. According to a recent CDC survey, more than ever before, women ages thirty-five and over are having children. In fact, the average age of first-time mothers has increased 3.5 years since 1970.

A first-time mother in her mid thirties, Jane Jarrell speaks from the heart about the unique experiences of a mid-life mom--all while keeping a vigorous sense of humor. In Secrets of a Mid-Life Mom, she tackles universal issues such as self-esteem, fear of the future, career choices, and spirituality. Using what she calls a "written talk-show format," Jane encourages moms of all ages to enjoy every challenging minute of motherhood.

JANE JARRELL, a forty-plus mother of a daughter in elementary school, is a popular radio, TV, and conference speaker. She is a charter member of the MOPS National Speakers Bureau. She has authored eleven books, including Mom Matters. Jane and her family make their home in Richardson, Texas.
