The Enduring Role of Mothers in Books

Friday, May 12, 2023

On this Mother's Day weekend, first I'd like to wish all mothers and those who nurture other people's children a wonderful celebration. 

Many writers have crafted impactful stories about mothers and their issues in navigating relationships while raising kids. Today, I'm featuring authors that have written books about mothers, their romantic exploits, struggles and triumphs. 

Here's hoping you enjoy this selection from some of my writing friends.



Audra is a nurturer. Her husband, Damon, is an involved father, but she's their primary caregiver based on an agreement they made early on to have her be a stay-at-home mother. She loves being a mother and homemaker and makes sure the kids are fed healthy meals, do their homework, and tucks them into bed at night.

Inspirational Memoir is written by J. L. Woodson







Annette is a therapist who doesn't have as good a handle as she should on her relationships. While she's a confidante to other people's children, she doesn't do such a good job with her own daughter. When she meets a client and is attracted to her father, Annette is all sorts of conflicted.  Sometimes, it takes a look at someone else's life to see the mess you've made of your own.
