A Gift Called Mother, The Stages and Fantasies of Motherhood

Stafford -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Oct 17, 2011 -- Stafford, VA Author Sherlyn Powell reveals in her book A Gift Called Mother, her own pain as she opens up about her tearful journey, sleepless nights and her test of faith that is synonymous with being a mother when the family she loved and the bond they shared was suddenly shattered.

In the book, “Each morning that I opened my eyes, I grew a little weaker and a lot more introverted. There were times that I would not answer the telephone because I did not want to let anyone hear the stress in my voice. I struggled to smile, laugh or speak when I went out. I spoke when I was forced to but inside I felt the real me was slipping away. I cried to God—I can’t do this. I can’t.”

About the author, Sherlyn Powell worked for major corporations in Corporate America before pursuing her writing career.

Review:
Mother: what a precious and special word. More valuable than the Hope Diamond and more precious than the most expensive fur as our author relates story about her life raising her children, handling their good times and bad, understanding their differences and hoping to never lose that special bond that all mother's have with their children...

... A Gift Called Mother: by Sherlyn Powell. This book is truly a gift to all readers and you definitely want to read her story as you hear her voice, feel her pain, cry along with her, wipe her tears and watch her stand tall and embrace life... Sherlyn's writing is what kept her going and I'm glad that she decided to share this thought provoking, outstanding, and definitely important story with everyone. Everyone has a mother. Not everyone deserves to be called that we know. Sherlyn reminds everyone that if you are blessed and fortunate to be a mother you have received the most precious gift God's gifts...
