reviewed Voices of Multiple Sclerosis: The Healing Companion: Stories for Courage, Comfort and Strength on November 27, 2013 Voices of Multiple Sclerosis: The Healing Companion: Stories for Courage, Comfort and Strength
I'm going to be blatantly frank about this...the introduction/preface to this collection of autobiographical essays on mothers was a lot more heart-wrenching than the rest of it. On the one hand this makes me kind of sad as I was looking for something a lot more tearful, but then I probably should have just picked up a copy Chicken Soup for the Soul. On the other hand, I did appreciate the great frankness and guts these authors had in telling/recounting the ways their mothers impacted their lives. And as I made my way through each of these stories, I realized I myself had no idea where to begin.
A lot of the writing seemed to be strained or read like a writing exercise, where you until you have no more thoughts coming to you. And that makes sense, a mother and child relationship is the first relationship you ever have and therefore one of the most intimate painful, inspirational, headache inducing, and loving relationships you'll ever have.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something a bit therapeutic or for a beach bum book. But if you're looking for something that gonna have you reaching for the tissue box, just pick a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul - Mom edition.
