STORYTELLING AS RICH AND SMOOTH AS A CHOCOLATE KISS,
By
This review is from: Kisses of Sunshine for Moms (Hardcover)
What do moms need most? A sense of connection. Women in all seasons of mothering long to feel the support and camaraderie shared with others strolling the same well-worn path.
KISSES OF SUNSHINE does just that. It's filled with dozens of stories that make you smile, burst out laughing, and even cry. And don't we love a book that makes us feel like life is actually a wonderful thing? I took this book with me to the beach, tucked into my humongous tote bag full of kiddie toys, snacks, and sandy toddler flip-flops. This was something just for me! And I savored every word. I loved reading the labor-and-delivery stories -- reminding me of my own sometimes harrowing experiences. This book would be a great gift for expectant moms! You know, when you read a story on the internet or in a magazine, and you think, "This is so good. I've just got to send it to somebody." That's exactly what this book is -- a collection of those favorites, all bound into a beautiful, hardback book. And best of all, each story points the reader toward a deeper awareness of God's love for moms, ending with a scripture that ties it all together. I was cracking up reading about Ellie Kay's homeschooling day with a mouse on the loose! And oh no -- what Jill Gregory discovered in the bathtub! Gardeners will love Anne Denmark's story about trimming roses and watering lilies in a place where she never feels alone. Carol Kent's letter from her mom in "A Treasured Letter" made me want to get out my stationery and write notes to those I love. You'll want to do the same. With titles such as "Did I really say Drug Free?," "Keeping the Groom -- Dumping the Dress," "Girls' Day Jammin'" and "A Tale of Two Manicures," there's something for every woman to enjoy. This is a book that makes you want to take off your shoes, kick back, and enjoy the warmth of a room full of wonderful storytellers. --Reviewed by Heather Lynn Ivester

Exceptional Inspirational Read,
By
This review is from: Kisses of Sunshine for Moms (Hardcover)
A must have. Great short stories of real-life mother experiences. I cried and I laughed throughout this book. I was always led to contemplation with the meditation thought and scripture after each one. I can't wait to get my hands on another in the series. I felt like I was right there in the stories or I had been there myself raising my children. Thanks to my daughter for this great Mother's Day gift!
