A warm, honest and comfortable book

Reading this book I found my mother and myself. When we were not there I saw my friends and their mothers. I laughed most of the time and sometimes I found myself feeling plain old lucky that I did not have a mother as some others did. It was a comfortable book to read, not quite a novel but not a self-analyzing book either, it fell in-between. I enjoyed the insight and honesty of the authors and all the people they interviewed.
