Every Mother Has a Story

The winners of the Shebooks/Good Housekeeping memoir contest offer three slices of life as a mother. In ';People Don't Get Me, Mom,' Jackie Mercurio carries a troubling secret that will change the life of her brilliant, misunderstood boy. Then a family trip to the Butterfly Garden takes them to a place of healing and wonder. In ';Coyote Tales,' Jacinta Hart Kehoe recovers from an accident she wasn't supposed to survive but struggles to help her adopted daughter learn to love and trust again. And in ';Pulling Rabbits from a Hat,' Cynthia Leonard tells her fascinating story of growing up in a magical act, with a mother who disappeared and reappeared nightly.
