SYNOPSIS: Memories, reflections, and old-fashioned advice, combined with a flair for words and a gregarious sense of humor are the ingredients in this mother book. June Bacher has some good words for new mothers (the 3 a.m. feedings do not last forever-they just seem to). Mothers of pre-schoolers, adolescents, teenagers, and college students will also find a poem or piece that's just right for their day. There's a poignant exchange of letters between a daughter who has just learned that she will be a mother and the new grandmother-to-be. Sandwiched in between are liberal doses of poetry and verse which deal with all sorts of subjects dear to a mother's heart. The result is a happy combination of relief and refreshment-just the thing a mother needs to soothe her spirit, strengthen her resolve, and put her day in proper perspective. June Masters Bacher is a writer and part-time teacher who lives with her husband in Escondido, California. She has also written The Grandmother Book and contributes regularly to magazines such as Ideals and Guideposts.
