About the Book

My mother calls me
from darkness to light. . . .
I wrap her words around me,
warm with good wishes
for the day to come.

In every welcome and whisper, laugh and farewell, the ever-changing tones of a mother’s voice express a gift a daughter can treasure — her mother’s constant love.
