Praise from Carolyn Baker

“When the cerebral power and control structure of the nepotistic sidekick meets up with the heartfelt longing to nurture vulnerable living beings with openness, spontaneity, humor, and protectiveness, Fall In Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save The Planet, and Be Happy is inevitable. Who knew that a pandemic could so profoundly alter a human being’s definition of success? Motherhood comes in many forms and bodies, and Frank Schaeffer’s lived experience is that capitalism has ripped the mothering impulse from so many hearts and bodies, especially men. For the sake of our children, our planet, and the deepest humanity in all of us, it must be reclaimed, championed, and practiced. None of the directives in the book’s title can be fully experienced unless we allow nurturing care to redefine our identity, our values, and our purpose for being alive on this Earth. As a feminist and a recovering evangelical I am deeply indebted to you for writing this book. ”
