Holiness for Housewives could really be called "Holiness for Busy People", because it is essentially about how to pray when you don't feel like you have time. Mothers with small children fall into that category, but so do all kinds of other people, male and female. If you've ever wondered how to follow St. Paul's advice to pray always when you have a full-time job, grad school, and an elderly parent to care for, this book is full of good advice for how to do just that. Highly recommended for any busy Catholic, house-wife or not. (
