All That Matters: A Mother's Memories

Rating:
Summary: Extraordinary
Review: This book is not just for mothers (although for them it is a must). It is for anyone who looks beneath the surface of experience to the lessons learned from it. As Janis Hogan limns each significant moment in her past with her precisely defined prose images, the reader is drawn into the picture as an eyewitness--even more: as a participant. We rejoice and mourn with her, stand awestruck or are simply touched to the heart. Her moments become our moments, but what is more important she evokes the special moments in our own lives, the wonder of the human experience, our relationships with our parents, our children, our spouses, our friends: how they have transformed us and caused us to grow. It is a book for all those who rejoice in living.
