What makes the books mentioned above different is that they are not full of clever tips for raising children and infants. Instead, in two cases they are real-life accounts of mothers who stood up to and fought with mainstream society and traditional values. And the third is a translation by a mother who didn't know to whom she could turn for help locally and finally went to foreign information sources for aid.
坊間的「媽媽書」或「爸爸書」不少，不同的是，這幾本書的內容不是什麼育兒秘笈或教子良方，而是幾位母親為了孩子，挺身與主流社會、傳統價值衝撞的真實記錄，或在求助無門下，尋求國外資訊協助的譯作。
