In The Mother at Home, John Abbott speaks with clear, practical warmth to the daily work of motherhood—showing how a mother’s quiet influence shapes a child’s character, habits, and eternal outlook. With vivid examples drawn from ordinary family life, Abbott explains why loving authority matters, how to establish willing obedience without constant conflict, and how a mother can correct faults fairly, wisely, and consistently.
