Embracing Motherhood!

"This book is not about the perfect Catholic family--so you don't have to put it down if you feel yours is imperfect! There are many kinds of families today: traditional two-parent families; single-parent, blended, and foster families;grandparents raising their grandchildren. This is not a book of fluff either. You'll be reading about the realities of a mother's life with all its delights and heart-wrenching circumstances You'll find, I hope, encouragement, affirmation and solidarity with someone who has been in the trenches too..."~from the Introduction of my book" "Embracing Motherhood."

Endorsement from Archbishop Timothy Dolan

My new book Embracing Motherhood was endorsed by Archbishop (Cardinal Elect) Timothy Dolan. He said:


In this small volume, Embracing Motherhood, Ms. Cooper O'Boyle offers a sensitive reflection on what it means to tune into faith, hope, and charity, living out the vocation of raising children, passing on our Catholic faith, and providing our kids with the necessary roots and wings to live virtuously. Mothers and fathers too can grow spiritually from this book, and draw inspiration from her tender perspective. This is a substantive and practical gem as well as an ode of joy for God's gift of motherhood! --Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York


Autographed copies are available at my website: www.donnacooperoboyle.com
For busy or on-the-go Moms and GrandMoms, an AUDIO version is available too!

My vocation of motherhood!

Jennifer Send reviewed my book Embracing Motherhood. Her review can be seen at Amazon and here:

Another beautifully written book by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle! "Embracing Motherhood" is a must read for all mothers who are striving to be the wives and mothers God has called them to be. Donna-Marie offers many wonderful ideas for passing on the Catholic Faith to our children, through the rich tradition of The Church. She has raised five children and has a lot of wisdom to share with mothers who are raising their children now and are struggling with trying to create a "domestic church" in our families, while fighting the temptations of the culture. Through reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of how important my vocation of motherhood is and how I must keep my eyes focused on Christ, who will give me the strength I need to be the best mother I can be!


Thank you very much, Jennifer! I am so glad that my book has inspired you in your vocation of motherhood. God bless you and your family!

I did this specific radio interview when I was out in Cincinnati visiting my publisher Servant Books to narrate my newly released book: Embracing Motherhood. It was an interesting and fun experience recording the book for the audio format.

My visit with Fr. Benedict Groeschel on EWTN's Sunday Night Prime!

It was wonderful to meet with Fr. Benedict today to record a TV show.

Chatting about our dear mutual friend, Blessed Mother Teresa.

Fr. Benedict is such a gracious host, constantly thanking me for being there while
I wanted to continue to thank HIM for having me!

Stay tuned for our show coming up in Feb. or March of 2012. I'll keep you posted!

Coming very soon!

From the publisher's website:


"How many mothers actually embrace their vocation? I wonder. How many revel in it all and recognize their role as an actual vocation?"—from the introduction

Celebrating her great love for the family as a "domestic church," Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle leads the reader to a deeper appreciation of the role that motherhood plays in the sanctuary of vibrant family life. Her observations and advice are grounded in personal experience and informed by a profound understanding of the Church's teachings on the feminine genius and the importance of the Christian family in the modern world.

After being video-interviewed for the book trailers

I just visited my publisher Servant Books in Cincinnati to produce an audio version of my upcoming book Embracing Motherhood which is due to be released in January 2012. It was a very interesting experience to record the audio version of the book which took a full day and part of the next. Afterwards, I was interviewed for a radio show and then was video-interviewed for a couple of book trailers for this book. I enjoyed being with all of the wonderful folks there.
