I am interested in personal histories. While reading this I was currently working on some commissioned paintings for families where I interviewed them as a personal historian might, and then condensed and created the main themes into an expressionistic compilation of their personal story onto canvas. The different voices and experiences in this book are just short/long enough to intrigue and enlighten. I had never heard of storycorps before reading this book, I just happened to grab it off of the shelf in the library. I'm so glad that I did. This book was very touching, emotional, and very heartfelt. I couldn't wait to get to the next story. One theme that continued throughout the book was love. To see how all these different people in all these different states, walks of life etc. had so much love for their mothers. I want to interview some of my relatives and see if I can get some stories for my family's future generations. Great book!
This would make a good mothers day gift, I think. Short and nice, but not hokey.
