Gibbs Smith Publishers, 2001

Finger on the Pulse of Motherhood!
This is simply an outstanding collection of poetry on the feelings of love a mother feels for her child - whether that relationship is biological or adopted and ranging in age from a child in utero to a teenage child. It manages to accurately describe situations and emotions without the sappy "greeting card" prose you find all too often in poetry on motherhood and it also avoids the cynical, ...

Touching Hearts No Matter What Your Faith: From a Non-Mormon
I just completed reading this touching book after having also recently read "Goodbye, I Love You," her book that brought me to tears. Being a gay male who was previously married, fathering a son, going through a divorce, and all along attempting to reconcile my evangelical Christian faith with my sexuality, both books spoke directly to me in many ways. Carol Lynn is a magnificent writer with a ...

Parliament Publishers, 1984

It's a dangerous book for romance lovers to read!
The title of this book caught my attention. The first person I ever really liked, i couldn't stop smiling when i was around him. These love poems give men a glance of what love a woman has for her husband. The true devotion, admiration, and the simplicity of love shines forth on every page. I can only read several poems at a time, other wise i am disabled for the rest of the day. One poem that ...

The Perfect Mother-Daughter Gift
If you have a daughter, particularly one who is on the brink of womanhood and preparing to leave or has already left the nest, this is the perfect book to give her. In other words, if you have a daughter 18 or over, give her this book immediately. You may even want to read it with her, but be warned that you will both shed a joyful tear or two. This short, picture-book for adults tells the ...

Been There....
As a mother of two I completely understand where Alison is coming from. I've wished to run away at times too. This is a light, cheery, truthful story. Can easily be read in one sitting but the feeling behind it stays for a long time. Go on and call your Mom and say "I love you". Been there, done that....is there a T-Shirt? I highly recommend this book.

For gay/straight spouses, tells both sides of the story
This is the first book I came across that truly captured what it is like to be gay and married and it was written by the straight spouse. Of course, that was years ago and now I have come out of the closet and have found my voice and know what is in my heart. But back then I was deep in the closet and this book was a godsend. Thank you, Carol Lynn, from the bottom of my heart. It was ...

Great questions to bridge the gap...
I loved this book so much that I sent my mom a copy too. I've asked the questions from this book to both of my grandmothers (through the mail) and it inspired some really great conversations. It was written by a mother-daughter team who really wanted to know more about each other and the questions they came up with to ask each other are things I wanted to know too. I would totally recommend to ...

great pictures
I grew up with this book, and it is so fun. I have yet to find any story that explains the Plan of Salvation so well. And the illustrations are really cute. Also, get the cd. The music is amazing and goes along with the story. In fact, if I could get only one cd for my kids (whenever I have them) it would be this one.

Excellent Read
Loved the theme of "David vs. Goliath in the Court Martial of the Century." In this exciting novel, "David," aka Navy JAG Officer Zack Brewer, takes on "Goliath," aka Wells Levinson, the word's greatest trial lawyer in the prosecution of three US Navy Islamic chaplains for Treason and Murder. Fascinating and bonechilling premise based upon radical Islamic infiltration in the US military. Could it ...
