In this pensive and leisurely paced work, philosophy professor Carey (Manhattan Coll.; The Faithful Parent: Discovering the Spirit of Purposeful Parenting) identifies seven major junctures that can lead parents to wisdom, maturity, and grace (e.g., advocacy, guilt, gratitude). Arguing that parents grow as individuals along with their children, the author points to the wisdom of philosophers-parents should make like the great minds and reflect on their habits of thinking and acting. Carey is a solid storyteller, beginning each chapter with a parenting scenario that features rich character development and good pacing. He then examines the issue portrayed, such as the misuse of power, and places it in the context of philosophical thought, such as Spinoza's argument that power is the primary virtue. A lovely book to be savored and returned to; ideal for academically bent parents.-Julianne J. Smith, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI
