Women readers are sure to find themselves in one or more of these stories filled with grit and grace. The courageous authors of Journeys to Mother Love aren't merely venting about their mother wounds. Neither are they giving pat answers. The hurts were real and the healing was real.
 From manipulation to abandonment, from neglect to favoritism, from mental illness to emotional distance, from abortion to Alzheimer's, these nine women from several generations, tell their personal stories with heart-wrenching honesty. Each had hurts and conflicts in their mother/daughter relationship that left them wounded and affected their relationships with others. Each tells how, with God's help, they experienced healing and new freedom to give and receive love.

These heartwarming stories set during the holidays in the years between 1906 and today will rekindle the reader's own memories, giving perspective to the present and hope for the future. Each story is set amidst historical events when people came together and found opportunities to exchange the true gifts of Christmas: gifts of kindness, encouragement, forgiveness, peace, hope, belonging, and many more. The main character of each story is a boy or girl, man or woman whose heart opens to give or receive love, changing the course of their life and causing them to always look back and say, 'That was the best Christmas!' Each story is penned with a gentle twinkle in the author's eye, delighting the reader with twists of plot and humor, and revealing her warm understanding of human relationships--with each other and with the Creator who sent his son that first Christmas day.
