Anthology of Multiple Authors' Heartwarming Essays

This collection of essays, authored by an impressive group of writers, is a poignant tribute to mothers everywhere. An easy read, the book is not unlike a bag of literary potato chips -- you just can't stop with the first essay.

I laughed some, cried a little, and marveled at the pleasant memories of mothers and grandmothers these authors were willing to share with their readers. It was awesome!
