Letter to My Mother: Words of Love and Perspectives on Growing Up from Sons and Daughters

Many songs and stories have been written about how important mothers are to their children. But what story would you tell if you put pen to paper?

Perhaps things you had learned from her that made you who you are today. Perhaps express your gratitude for the sacrifices she had made for you. Or perhaps matters left unresolved that have since become a thorn in your relationship.

Insightful and heart-wrenching, packed with poignant anecdotes. These letters testify to the nurturing love that mothers have for their children.

In this collection of mini-essays edited by award-winning author Felix Cheong, sons and daughters write letters to their mother about their relationships and articulate what has often not been expressed.
