I devoured [The Ultimate Career] in one night and loved it! I know it will be a wonderful resource to a new generation of women. . . I appreciate most of all your effort to include counsel about some of the challenges of life.

Thank you! Each time I have read this book I feel better about myself and more encouraged to work harder and do better. This book is such a lift, while at the same time instructional and motivational. It's amazing to me that I can get so much from one book. I really believe this is a must-have for every woman. It is not only a "know-how" book but a "feel-good" book.
--Stacy Russon, mother of two young children, Salt Lake City, Utah

Thank you for the wonderful, wonderful book. I began my reading with Elaine's chapter and then read the book from the beginning. I have enjoyed everything about the book: the format, the lists (especially the lists), the quotes, but most of all I have loved the stories, the true accounts of other people, who just like me, struggle, feel joy, encounter frustration from time to time, and who lean on the Lord. Not only is your book something that will build a better mother, wife, and, in my case, a grandmother, but also a book that will build testimony and spiritual strength.
--Carolyn T., Salt Lake City, Utah

Your new book is a real tribute to marriage, stay-at-home moms, and the gospel working in our lives. I especially appreciated all the real-life parables.
--Victor C., Salt Lake City, Utah

The Ultimate Career is terrific. I appreciate its wisdom, humor, and thoroughness. It is motivational, without making the reader feel guilty. The thing I like best is the way home management is broken down into small, manageable pieces. I felt empowered after reading it.
-- Lynda R. Horne, homemaker, teacher at a private school, Salt Lake City, Utah

I finished the book feeling enlightened and empowered as a mom. I now have a plan and a guide; before I felt a bit overwhelmed. I'm more positive in my attitude and find my duties in the home more enjoyable.
--Courtney Nielson, stay-at-home mom, Naperville, Illinois

The Ultimate Career is a wonderful, positive book. Thank you for addressing some hard issues within the context of the family. From setting up a home to developing family traditions, this is an indispensable reference.
--Jacalyn S. Leavitt, former First Lady of Utah; now of Arlington, Virginia

I can't say enough about The Ultimate Career to my friends and especially to my family. The simple fact that Daryl and her daughters collaborated in this is a shining testimony that the things she has taught for so many years do work and bless our homes and families. Thank you for Elaine's story. I'm sure it was not easy to share it, but so many women will identify with her experience and hopefully stop blaming themselves and find peace.
