What My Mother Gave Me: Thirty-One Women on the Gifts That Mattered Most by Elizabeth Benedict
5.0
"What My Mother Gave Me" is a collection of 31 essays written by different women.
Each one of them shares a precious memory about a special gift they got from their mothers. Some of them focus on the material side, while others prefer to address the lessons and advices they received during their lives. They all show how small things can change our lives forever and be great reminders of who we truly are.
The book is very emotional. In many moments, I felt like I should just stop reading and go hug my mom and thank her for everything. After finishing it, I think many people will also feel like they should write their own chapters.
Even though some essays moved me more than others, I think this book deserves 5 stars for everything it represents.
