Summary: It is not just a story of love and caring.
Review: A CHAIR FULL OF HEART captures the essence of a mother daughter relationship...a relationship that is not always smooth, but one that is enlarged and strengthened as it embraces the changes we all undergo as we mature. It is also a story of friendship, quiet courage, and dignity. It touches your soul. Cavin's style is open and sincere and her text carries the reader back to a time when life was less hurried and more nurturing. It has a comfortable feel...like being home again. Sally Simmer's water color illustrations are a perfect fit for Cavin's prose. Her colors are both warm and vivid, and her artfully drawn pictures convey a sense of calm and inner strength. Her use of the human hand in her drawings not only ties the story together, on another level it reminds the reader of the ties that bind us all together."

Summary: A timeless story.
Review: A CHAIR FULL OF HEART is a beautifully illustrated. Through the author's words, women of all ages can identify and share the mother/daughter relationship--the struggles to reach womanhood, being on opposite banks of raging rivers during the journey, and, when blessed, coming together again as adults and the sorrow of losing a mother too soon. The illustrator caught the essence of the story's mother and daughter with beautiful accuracy and attention to detail.

Review: A Chair Full of Heart is a heart-rending tale of the ups and downs a daughter and mother go through until they come full circle to realize what's really important. It's a there-but-for-the-Grace-of-God-go-I kind of story.I highly recommend it for mothers, daughters, granddaugthers, and sisters. Don't miss out on a Chair Full of Heart. I'm sorry it took me a year to find it!

Summary: This book touched my heart and the hearts of many students.
Review: Children need to understand that the loss of a close family member is a sad, but growing experience, that will touch their lives forever. In my opinion, Ms. Cavin would be an excellent presenter to children. As a classroom teacher, she shares her love of writing with her students, instilling the belief that they, too, are writers as her mother had in her when she was a young girl.
