MOTHERING HEIGHTS: A Novel Approach for Christian Mothers (co-authored with Susan Martin Brereton). This creative volume draws insight and wisdom for Christian mothers in the twenty-first century from classic literary works such as Pride and Prejudice, Great Expectations and Much Ado about Nothing. Using selected quotes and the book titles themselves, as well as comments and stories from other mothers, the authors offer encouragement and exhortation to women of all walks of life who struggle and strive to be intentional in their parenting choices. Rather than offering methods and advice on parenting, the authors seek to help women make the most out of their motherhood experience. They challenge mothers to consider their priorities and expectations, to find value and purpose in the motherhood role and to deepen their personal relationship with God, with their families and with other mothers. Mothering Heights is the winner of a silver medal in the Mom’s Choice Awards and was a finalist for the CALEB Prize for faith-inspired writing by Australian & New Zealand authors & publishers.

About The Writer

Keitha Smith

Keitha Smith

KEITHA SMITH is a wife, mother, friend, observer of human nature and, predominantly, a novelist.  To date she has published four works of fiction (Maybury Place, The Bell Curve, The Tender Conflict and The Journey) and a non-fiction book for Christian mothers called Mothering Heights. She wrote her first book - a children's twist-a-plot novel - as a class project when she was sixteen but never really considered writing as something a person might do as a profession. However, through her twenties and thirties her love of writing continued to grow, with her main focus being on writing women's fiction, exploring life's rich tapestry through funny, flawed and familial fictional characters. Keitha also serves on the board of the charity Minds for Minds, fundraising for autism research.
