Thank you for the great review. It's so true about mothers. My mother is one of those people who can give up everything for family. The first time I moved abroad was when I really started to appreciate my mother. I now make it a point to take a trip with her every year (we both love travel) and to call her often. She may not have a college education, but her insights about life always put things into perspective for me.Alkemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073900773860510777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-3177611557370635782011-05-11T01:44:13.071-04:002011-05-11T01:44:13.071-04:00Sounds like a very thought provoking book and one ...Sounds like a very thought provoking book and one for the summer reading list.Beach House Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304023289393977207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-10679565078826562632011-05-11T01:15:08.073-04:002011-05-11T01:15:08.073-04:00That sounds like an amazing novel.

I'm a military child and my mom's a military wife so I really didn't get a chance to be one of those who grew up to see her as someone with only one side, one face. I've seen a lot of my mom's sides and some of them are scary, but I still love her. <br /><br />She's more than just a mom to me. She's over the years become a friend and a three-dimensional person. I'm very lucky that's she someone who thinks that her kids shouldn't just know the "mother" side. She tries to show us she's a person. I think that's why I love her more than ever now; she's a person, not a character!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732028264170732529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-92228798357568226732011-05-10T21:26:29.490-04:002011-05-10T21:26:29.490-04:00You are so right Sande.

I think that we always think of these questions when it's too late. <br />I am putting the book on my 'must read' list.
