description: <b>Mom, you are valued and valuable.<br /></b><br />Behind the smiling face of many moms is a woman who, in the joyful process of raising her kids, has lost a bit of herself. If you wrestle with feelings of loneliness or are struggling to rediscover your own sense of worth, these 52 devotions drawn from the Psalms show you how God sees you, what he created you to do, and how he created you to be. Caryn Rivadeneira takes you through ten major areas of identity, weaving in stories from her own life and from the lives of other moms, to show you that you are truly known and truly loved.<br /><br /><br />"Profound, funny, and affirming.
