Basic Overview:  Jane Clayson Johnson had a very successful career in journalism—hosting The Early Show, among other prestigious assignments.  However, once she married and decided to have children, she made the decision to give up a lucrative contract and devote most of her time to being a mother.  While still using her career experience in occasional projects, writing, and speaking roles, she now cares for her home and family and teaches others that the work of a mother is valid, valuable, and noble. 

Her book was published by Deseret Book and is written for an audience within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the stories she shares and the principles she has learned are helpful and inspiring for all mothers, regardless of religious preference.  She asks the right questions, offers thoughtful answers, and interjects reminders that mothers are important.  The one sentence on the back of the book sums it up: “Every little girl knows that mothers matter.”
