Publisher's Summary

In this unique, profoundly inspirational memoir, Divorce Court star Judge Lynn Toler shares her mother's wisdom for learning to conquer anger and become immune to insult. Toler credits her mother's "rules" for life - a life that saw her grow up the daughter of a poor teen mother and endure a husband who suffered mental illness and alcoholism - with providing the grounding for her own success and happiness. Toler shows how the mindset of "a black woman who knew how to make things work" taught her the power of knowing how to manage one's emotional business - lessons that this book offers in wrenching stories written in spare and graceful prose. My Mother's Rules is an unforgettable book that will captivate listeners with its illustrations of how to rise above the most difficult circumstances and find peace and success in life.

Incredible & captivating.

Couldn't put it down. From beginning to end.She's my mentor.Had I Horton this book sooner. I could have made my life alot easier.

I’m obsessed

I feel like Judge Lynn Toler should have been my Mother. Lol I’ve seen every episode of divorce court. I cried throughout this book...I grew up really dirt poor and my own father went to prison for abusing me...in every way imaginable. Then I was placed with my wicked Grandmother, she was worse. I never really had anyone on my side or any type of mother figure in my life. All I have ever known is abuse honestly...Judge Lynn Toler’s advice and books are literally changing my life. Thank you so much! Everyone needs to read all of her books! Now!

Emotional intelligence in practice

The story was engaging and compelling and totally relatable. I appreciate biographies that find the positive outcomes of adversity

wish I had read this years ago

loved it and wish I read it years ago. now in my 40s learning still I should have learned decades ago and because of that didn't equip my children properly. they are almost grown and have to learn things I should have taught them....but now you know better you can do better....also good to know I'm not the only one struggling

Loved it...just one little thing

I loved the story Judge Lynn shares in her book. After hearing so many audiobooks, I wish the production could have been less rushed. Sometimes you needed to take a breath after her wisdom before jumping right into the next thing. Again not a critique on Judge Lynn at all. I'm going to listen again and write the rules out (or just buy a copy of the book).
