I remember when I was a teen going through a bad time and my mother wrote me a letter. I still have it, lo these many, many years later. I cherish that letter because my mother passed away a few years ago. I'll have to take a look at this book.Kathi Oram Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959149321213743448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-7930312575742858422010-03-15T20:57:45.448-04:002010-03-15T20:57:45.448-04:00Diane, thanks.

I remember my relationship with my mother during the period.<br /><br />Michele, I started once to mention the author first but against it. As I read the book I forgot the author was male so that's why I waited till the end to mention it. It's a good book.<br /><br />Carol and Jemi, I'll admit I did need a few tissues a couple times in the book. But I'm extremely tender hearted. It will pull on those heart strings a little.<br /><br />Karen, I think the idea behind the book could also apply to a mother/son relationship.Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-62207433828422772010-03-15T12:30:02.468-04:002010-03-15T12:30:02.468-04:00Sounds really good - I'm with Carol - I'd ...Sounds really good - I'm with Carol - I'd need the tissues near by :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-8602751210873276612010-03-15T11:42:58.399-04:002010-03-15T11:42:58.399-04:00Sounds like an interesting book.

That's the kind of relationship Laura was hoping for in this book.<br /><br />Rayna, I think the book helps us to remember that our mothers were young once. I think the book could also be used to help mothers tell their sons things that would help them with women as they get older. <br /><br />Elizabeth, I was surprised that he didn't use a pen name too. At first I didn't think a man could write a woman's view point, but I was wrong. He did a great job of it.<br /><br />Cheryl, it is a good book. It was an easy book to read. The writing flows well and you can feel Laura's emotions.
