Summary: A Gift Of Love
Review: I received a copy of this book from my daughter who was about to celebrate her 33rd birthday. The Amazon gift wrap was lovely. And she wrote and told me this was a gift for giving life to her and more. And I began to read the essays and the letters and the poems. And although each author had a different mother, there seemed to be a universal theme....love. And in some cases, lack of love. These are letters and poems that one can read and re-read and share with friends because there is so much thought and insights into that special unique relationship between mother and daughter. To have received this book from my daughtermakes it all the more special....but the collectionis filled with words that make my memories spinand I am happy that my daughter has alwaystold me what she has meant to say...Mothers can send this book to their daughters. Daughters should send this book to their mothers. And if any man wishes to know why the relationship between mother and daughteris so very special, he can read this book too.Thanks to the editor who compiled the variousworks! This book is a keeper!
