Book Review by Noreen

Mother by Kathleen Norris

My Mother’s Day tradition is to read the book Mother by Kathleen Norris. Although it was written in 1914, I find the issues the book tackles are surprisingly modern. Caught between two worlds, a young girl compares the life, love and impact of her own faithful Mother (of eight children) and the very wealthy, socialite circle that she works in. It is the touching story of a Mother’s love, and always leaves me with a couple joyful tears and a resolve to be better at showing my love for my children. An easy read and a fun love story to boot. I highly recommend it and give it a 10 out of 10.
