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 readers 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.

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).

great!!!

Great read

I love this woman and tend to think of her as a second mom in my head ❤️ She’s brillant and oh so wise!

Practical relatable Wisdoms

Loved the book and especially the narrator! Raw honesty, life experiences and lessons learned equal a place on my lifetime favorites.

listen to it!

although it may be hard to endure for some if you are in need of a better understanding of your self and the undetermined obstacles ahead this should help!

Good advice!

Worth the read! You will receive some wisdom through experience backed stories and guidance on how to master your inner self.

Loved it!!

I read Dear Sonali first and I thought that was good... this book was even better!! In fact, I know I’ll listen to it at least 2 more times. Judge Toler wrote so much in the book that I don’t I’d fully absorb all of it if I don’t!

My Mother's Pearls

Great read, insight and advice for improving your life. Pearls of wisdom. I found some of these I already practice but was good to then recognise as a strength and not a weakness. As I grow in my self improvement I hope to employ more into the new me. Thank you.
