Motherhood is defined by what happens after the baby is born. And motherhood never ends, even after that final breath is taken, living on in the memories and legacies left behind. In his book, you'll find many stories that define motherhood from a wide variety of viewpoints, as told by moms and their children, throughout this country. 
 These stories will make you laugh and cry, some poignant, others a self-reflective journey of growth and discovery. These are brave stories told with strong voices, some with their faith held firmly as their shield; while others bare their souls, some, still raw to the touch. It is amazing, to me, that the words written, carry the richness of an experience that not one writer regrets. Even those moments of pain appear to serve the holder, to carry forward the lessons of life, of love and of hope.
