This touching collection of stories written by people of all ages and backgrounds will honor the most important woman in everyone?s life?their mother.

I was looking for a Mother's Day gift and ordered this based on a previous book on teachers by the same authors. It was so much more than I'd hoped for. This is a wonderful collection of stories that my mom absolutely adored. I recommend the stories by Wendy Lynn Clark, Alison Miller Boniface, Robert F. Walsh, and Susan Reynolds, but they're all great. Some are really touching and others are hilarious. I guess this is part of a series, but I haven't read the one on dads.

I know one of the authors published in this collection and she sent me the book last Mother's Day as a gift. I don't normally like inspirational story collection-type books, but this one really is good. It was very unique and contained a wide range of stories. Buy it for your mom or yourself.
