If you're trying to decide if you want to homeschool your children, this is a great book to help you decide. I had read several HOW TO HOMESCHOOL books, but still did not know if and how homeschooling would work for us. This book let me peek in on homeschooling families, and thus I was able to take bits and pieces from each family and make it work for us. It was great fun to read about the MANY ways to homeschool and the MANY types of homeschooling families. This book is a wealth of information if you still don't quite grasp how homeschooling works on a day to day basis.
