Finished Mom: A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps a collection of transcripts from interviews conducted through the Story Corps project. My daughter knows I like to listen to the interviews on NPR and gave this to me for Mother's Day. The stories were wide-ranging, diverse, and poignant. I did notice a pattern that a large majority of the stories were about women who had to raise children on their own due to death, divorce or abandonment. This book is a testament to strong women. ( )
