May 7, 2008 — Mother’s Day is typically a time when kids pay special attention to their moms, and in Alan Jackson’s household, Denise approaches this Sunday with a newfound status as a celebrity.
Denise wrote a book, It’s All About Him: Finding The Love Of My Life, that chronicled their relationship. It was definitely successful, debuting at No. 1 on The New York Times Best-Sellers List when it was released last summer. Alan believes her accomplishment set a really good example for their three daughters, showing that a mom can do things outside of the household, too.
"I think it’s been great for them to see her do somethin'," he says. "She’s a great role model for them anyway — and always has been, whether she did anything professional or not — but they’ve never seen her go work. I could see it in their eyes that they were surprised, and also I could see ‘em with interest lookin’ at it and thinkin’ that it was special for her to do that, so I think it’s a very good thing for the kids to see."
Mother’s Day ends up being a prelude for Denise’s second book. The Road Home will be in bookstores on Tuesday.
