Sacred Sons, September 18, 2005
This review is from: Sacred Sons (Paperback)
What's the old saying? Mothers raise their daughters and love their sons. Mrs. Hudson-Smith must have been thinking this when she wrote this book.
Simone Branch has used her broken heart as an excuse to make bad relationship choices and to smother her son with over protectiveness. Sinclair Albright's career has revolved around the financial needs of her son and her husband is fed up. Glenda Richards' is in a loving relationship but refuses to let the man in her life make a man out of her child. Hannah Brentwood is married to a good, God-fearing man who's forced to pull a tight reign on their grown son. These women all have one thing in common: they love their sons.
Tara Wheatley is the youngest of the hospital friends but by far the wisest. As a result of watching her own mother coddle and spoil her brother, she knows just how to raise a child without ever giving birth.
Sacred Sons takes a close look at five different women and their relationships, their actions and their hearts. Accepting that you haven't raised your child right cannot be an easy task, but each of these women came to face the cold truth. Constant prayer and self-examination strengthened them to do the one thing they hated most: cut the apron strings!
I was instantly touched by this story as a mother of a son, a sister of a brother and a daughter of a mother who is guilty of some of the same things as these women. A great inspirational story told with style and finesse.

Highly recommended, January 2, 2006
This review is from: Sacred Sons (Paperback)
I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it to all mothers raising young men. It taught a very valuable lesson. We, as mothers, sometimes have a tendency to spoil our sons and not want them to grow up. This book taught me that if I want my son to grow up into a young man, I have to teach him to and not spoil and give into his every want. Excellent work Ms. Hudson-Smith.

A Mother's Love is more precious than gold..., January 19, 2006
This review is from: Sacred Sons (Paperback)
'Sacred Sons' is a very inspirational story that needed to be told. Time and time again, mother's overlook their son's flaws because all they can see is the love that they have for them. And more often than not, those same son's take that same kindness for a weakness and uses it to their advantage.
Thus the plot of Ms. Smith's fascinating novel. Her characters all have different circumstances but the results are all the same. They fear for their son's destructive ways which are empowered by their actions and they are all at a crossroads on how to correct the error of their ways.
Take time out of your busy schedule and join them on their enlightening journey to self discovery for the betterment of themselves, their families, their sons, and maybe you and me. It is a lesson to be learned for all. Perhaps a seed to be planted to be passed on to someone else that may be in need one day.
Wonderful job, excellent lesson! Keep up the good work! A real joy to read!
