Mothers are as varied and unique as fingerprints. The 12 stories in this new collection of women's fiction run the scale of human emotions from the triumph of a contemporary mother carving her own path to the heartbreak of a Depression-era woman's sacrifices. They may enrage you, or make you weep or laugh—or miss your mom—but you may also find a mirror for your own experiences.We welcome you to take a journey through the many dimensions of motherhood in this vibrant tapestry of stories.
