From the cover of the book :
Mothers are strong. Mothers are unique. Mothers are love.

This relationship manifest itself in quiet gestures of acceptance & lvem heart-touching momentoes, and laughter-filled days.
The photographs in this collection celebrates and capture the power of these universal moments, and the stories touch the very soul of the mothering experience : the electricity of feeling the first kick in the womb, the simple wisdom of a child on frenzied day, the gesture that makes a lifelong connection with a teenage daughter, the joy (mixed with sorrow) of caring for an aging mother.

All celebrate the special role mothers play in our lives, and all will touch you and open your heart to triump, joy, hardwork and sometimes akward tenderness that forms the unique experience of motherhood.
