Quotable Mom

Everyone has had a mother, and most of us would admit that these women have profoundly affected our lives. The Quotable Mom gathers together some of the wisest and most memorable words ever written or spoken about and by the women who gave birth to us. This well-rounded volume includes quotes from individuals as diverse as Mick Jagger, Ann Landers, Mother Teresa, and Beatrix Potter. This gem of a book makes the perfect gift for any mother or grandmother. It is a heartwarming and inspiring collection of humorous, profound, thoughtful, and compelling remarks and observations by and about mothers and their children.
