Description

"…it reaches far beyond dates of birth, marriage and death and into the heart and soul of a woman and her family…"

Multi-Award-Winning Author P.M. TerrellWhat do you really know about your Mom?Do you know what her hopes, dreams and desires were? Did she live them? Your mom is so much more than the woman who raised you.

She grew up in a time very different from yours—there were different beliefs, habits, and ways of doing things. Your mom has seen a lot in her life, getting to hear her journey will help you to understand her in a whole new light. Now is the time get to know her and to document her life.

The only way to find out about your mom's story is to ask… because one day she won't be there anymore.When we reach old age we should know our lives mattered, that we mattered, that we are loved, happy and feel connected.This book offers a way to start conversations between you and your mom—in particular, elderly mothers. It is a guide which provides questions to ask, as well as how and when to ask them.

Use this as a way to grow, heal and/or mend the relationship between mom and child; preserve this woman's journey through life and in particular her role as Mom. Her story is her legacy to you.

"Every now and then... a book that takes on a life of its own... one that becomes more valuable as the years pass by until one day you find the book in a museum or historical archives and it opens up the past like a magical portal. Do you Know your Mom's Story? by Glenna Mageau is that book. It contains 365 questions to ask your mother and in the process of gaining her answers, the book comes alive with her personality, her aspirations from her youth to her elder years, her plans, hopes, fears and experiences..." Multi-Award-Winning Author P.M. Terrell

"...Full of questions that make it easy for you to know what to ask, this book can be the difference between knowing who your Mom really is or just who you think she is. Glenna writes in an easy fashion that draws you into the story so it doesn't seem like a "how to" book..." Brenda S

"...We all know the basics of our mothers in this book Glenna gives us ideas on how to ask questions without being invasive. This gives us a deeper knowledge of our family history. I really enjoyed it..." Gillian

"...Glenna wrote a fabulous book about mother's and how they don't tell us all of their past, what might have hurt, marred their lives, broken hearts, and more. I think mothers tend to tell us the good and skip over the bad or sad parts." Connie

"Every now and then... a book that takes on a life of its own... one that becomes more valuable as the years pass by until one day you find the book in a museum or historical archives and it opens up...
