Female readers will readily embrace this gentle yet strong exploration of the power of motherhood. Helen Burns confides that "every prayer I prayed, every bedtime story I read, every tear I kissed away, every encouraging word I spoke, every promise I kept, every memory I made -- all of these things truly mattered."
Written in what she refers to as the "reward stage" of motherhood -- when all the seeds she has sown are reaping harvest in the lives of her now-grown children -- she rejoices that she can "fully understand the "why" behind the "what" in everything we do as mothers."
Any mother will be refreshed as she is reminded of the value of the everyday miracles that result from expressing affection, being truly present in conversations, and demonstrating commitment in small ways.

This is a new release of the original 1936 edition.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN If you are young, find someone to walk beside you, to go before you to help you find your way. If you are a generation beyond your youth, fall into step beside someone younger who travels on rough terrain. Place your hand on the younger's ones shoulder. If you are growing old and looking back, thank God for the ones who walked with you when your steps were unsteady. And remember you can walk this way still. We learn to live well by watching someone else do it. Your guide might be a shoulder's breadth away or alive only in your memory or might come to life in the pages of a book. This book, even. To learn how, please see A.L.B.
