Nothing equals the magical, spiritual, and sometimes mystical bond between mother and child--and this popular keepsake and gift book (100,000 sold in its first edition) celebrates that timeless love in poetry, prose, photos, and art. Every page offers something of beauty, be it a vintage photograph, reproduction of a fine painting, (such as Mary Cassatt's "Maternal Caress"), or moving words by some of the world's best writers. Moms everywhere will enjoy recording their own personal thoughts on special lined pages, and poring through sections devoted to such subjects as Mother's Gifts, Children, Home, Legacy, Shared Moments, and Generations. Among the authors addressing the richness of motherhood: Eudora Welty, Margaret Atwood, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Simone de Beauvoir, and more.
