My Take On The Book
This was a heartwarming book that especially as you get close to mothers day you will appreciate. There are so many great stories of the bond that mothers and daughters share and you will be drawn in by the warmth of the bond and of the connection that this bond tends to bring forth. The book was well written and as is the case with all of these books, you will probably find yourself getting a bit emotional when reading some of the stories, as this is what they are supposed to do! This was a great book that I would recommend to all!
