a labor of love & inspiration!

Truly a labor of love from all the contributors who live in & around Port Townsend on the Quimper Peninsula at the mouth of the Puget Sound, in the State of Washington, Elisabeth Rochford Haight & Sylvia Platt have done an admirable job of editing this extra-ordinary collection of reflections & observations on mothering.I thought I could list my five favorite entries, & found I could not, because each one, be it a poem, a painting, a story haunts my heart, & fills my mind with my own memories about my mother & my time as a mother.MAMA STEW is to be savored, quietly in your favorite place to read a book. Each entry is richly textured with emotions, memories & everyday philosophy, that verges on elation.Very well done!
