Review: This is by far one of the most beautiful books written for and dedicated to mothers that I have ever read. So many of these stories reminded me of my own mother, and grandmother. I also found myself feeling special as the descriptions of what a mother truly is filled me with joy and inspiration.
This book is the perfect gift for mothers old and new, a book that traditions are made from as it is passed down from generation to generation. Definitely buy a copy for the mother’s in your life!

"There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness.... The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start my life with, and on that capital I have made my way." - Andrew Jackson

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."
-George Washington

Not sure where I got this book but it is sweet. The short stories are nice and have some true meaning to them but overall it was touching. As a mother the reflection we make on our children, family and friends, even strangers, is the most tender open love we could share. What a delight it is to be a mother! Through good times and bad, we are here, your super mom!

Sweet book to lift up a mommy’s spirits and remind you that your job is the most important job in the world and to do it with grace integrity and be honored to raise up your children

It's a great reminder of why Mom's are so important. It gave me a boost in confidence and gave me ideas for my own family. I would recommend this to others for a quick read.
