A great home business book for *all* moms

I have to say that this book has excellent advice for all moms, including those with college educations. I personally have a degree with a double major in math and computer science, and I worked as an engineer for over 10 years (away from home.) I found the advice in Liz's book very helpful. I have since chosen to pursue a different career for my home-based business, but I also know many engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. who are working at home ... many of these professional women were also interviewed in Liz's book. Whether you wish to bring your current career home or make some changes, if you want to work at home, the advice in this book will help you.
