A Cup of Comfort for Mothers & Sons

Stories that Celebrate a Very Special Bond

Edited by Colleen Sell

Available in most major bookstores.

A Cup of Comfort for Mothers and Daughters showed us that special bond between mother and daughter. Sons and mothers are just as close in their own unique way. Nothing brings home that fact more eloquently and wonderfully than A CUP OF COMFORT FOR MOTHERS & SONS: Stories that Celebrate a Very Special Bond  (April 19, 2005; Adams Media; $9.95 Trade Paperback Original; ISBN: 1-59337-257-4)

Mothers and sons see things differently than mothers and daughters. For a son, mom represents that special woman in his very young life who taught him right from wrong—nurtured and guided him through trials and tribulations of childhood, adolescence and going out on that first date with the “girl next-door.” It is mom who interjects herself into his life to support and encourage him in more of a loving fashion than perhaps dad can. It is mom who sees her son as aspiring to greatness. And, while he and mom might lack those “mother-daughter” type conversations, they do communicate in different ways with a gentle touch on the shoulder or a wink of a glistening eye. Penny Leisch of Tempe, Arizona (and Austin, Texas--as of September 2006) is one of the book’s contributors. Her essay is entitled “Like a Rock.”

A CUP OF COMFORT FOR MOTHERS AND SONS lovingly pays tribute through more than fifty stories written by ordinary people to the delight and power of the mother-son relationship. Nothing can stand in the way of that very special relationship. The powerful bond between mother and son never falters no matter whether work responsibility, marriage, distance, or even fatherhood surfaces between the two.

The resonance of laughter, joy, and tears in these stories will delight readers and fans of A Cup of Comfort titles. Mothers and sons in this inspirational volume provide a reassuring hug, while offering advice and thoroughly enjoying the good times they share.
