I have read many of the chicken soup for the soul books and I like them all. This one is especially meaningful for me. I have four kids but only one son. My son was born three weeks early. His father was so excited to have a boy after three girls. The day I came home from the hospital I went to put my son to bed and came back to the living room to find my husband had collapsed. I called for an ambulance and it turned out that my husband had an aneurysm. They did tests and were able to find out exactly where it was and attempted surgery. Unfortunately it was not successful and he died a few weeks later. I did not want to be pessimistic when he went in the hospital but I knew he would not come out of the hospital. I believe my son was born early for a reason and that reason was so his father could know that he had a son. That is another reason my son is so special to me. This book had many stories I could identify with. If you are a mother with a son or sons I highly recommend reading this book.

I can't wait to give this wonderful book to my sister who is expecting a baby boy. Great heartwarming stories for mothers-to-be, moms and grandmothers and their sons.

A GREAT book ... it will be enjoyed by all family members. Another wonderful "Chicken Soup" book.

I am a huge fan of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. This new title, Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul, is perfect. The stories cover all ages and are written by both mothers and sons. Everyone can relate. I have already bought six copies! I will be using them as gifts for my sons and for some of my friends.

This is a beatutiful and touching book about Mothers and Sons. Very well written and includes stories that all Mothers and Sons can relate to. This is a perfect gift for Mother's Day. Thank You!

I loved this book. I found the stories warm, entertaining, heart-felt, and memorable. This is a perfect Mother's Day gift. I am going to buy another book for my niece who became a mother to a baby boy today! I want her to read the many experiences women have in raising their sons. This is another great Chicken Soup book!

This book and others are helping with sending my last child, my son,
off to college. He's fine and so ready to leave home, I'm a mess!
Wonderful light-hearted stories that brought tears, smiles and memories
back. Loved the book!

What an inspiring book. It brought up many fond childhood memories. I sent one to my mom today. I can't wait to see her response.

Another great book from Chicken Soup. Only complaint, a few stories were repeats from other books in the series.

"Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul" will capture the heart of any woman, particularly those who have a son(s). The lump in my throat stayed the size of a softball throughout reading this moving collection of Mother and son tales. "Chicken Soup for the Soul" brings back page after page of tender, memorable moments we share only with our sons. This book makes an absolutely perfect gift, and is especially powerful for mothers who have all sons! I'm published in this book, "My Sinking Heart" page 12, and I'm proud to be in company with hundreds of other sincere mothers and authors telling their heartfelt stories.
