So God Made a Mother

Description

When God made a mother, he had you in mind. Are you a mother? Do you have a mother? Do you know a mother? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, So God Made a Mother is for you. Built around essays submitted by women of all ages and stages, So God Made a Mother utilizes the power of storytelling to speak straight to the heart. Leslie Means founded the popular website Her View From Home around the same idea: the world needs your story, no matter who you are. She uses her trademark conversational writing style to weave together a collection of emotional essays from Her View From Home contributors that will make you laugh, cry, nod along—and leave you wanting to call your mom. Motherhood is defined by the way it remains utterly undefinable. No two mothers are alike. No two mothers’ experiences mirror one another. Essays within the pages of this book could stand alone, to be sure—but something powerful happens when they come together: they speak love, worth, value, and beauty. They highlight tenderness, sorrow, joy, and faith. They take the undefinable experience of motherhood and give it shape and substance and strength. Whether you are a mother, you have a mother, or you know a mother, So God Made a Mother promises to show you the incomparable heart of a mother . . . a mother just like you.
