A SONG FOR MY MOTHER is the second book in my Dreyerville Holidays series. It’s about a woman who returns to her hometown after running away twelve years earlier, coming back to fulfill a promise she made her daughter, who was recently treated for brain cancer. In returning to Dreyerville, Marly Hanson is forced to deal with her estranged relationship with her mother. The book is about dealing with the bitter experiences of the past in order to find the love the women feel for each other.

A song that has been left unsung.

Three years ago, my mother passed away. She was my best friend. In my family, we never displayed our emotions. There was no hugging, no kisses on the cheek. And yet without words, the bond between my mother and her three children was as strong as steel.

We knew she loved us without question. Knew she would be there for us no matter what we did or what happened in our lives. She was the inspiration for all three of us, the person who convinced us we could achieve anything we wanted, be anything we wanted to be.

In our later years, we became a little less reserved, but I never really told my mother how much she meant to me, or how grateful I was to her for all she had done for me.

Perhaps this story of the bond between mothers and their children is my way of telling her what was always in my heart.

A SONG FOR MY MOTHER is a story about healing, about letting go of the past and finding something much more important. The love of family. I hope you enjoy the book.
