"Oatmeal might not really stick to ribs, but I never, ever eat it without hearing Mom's voice." Such is the influence of our mothers, as shown by New York Times bestselling author James Michael Pratt in this heart-touching book. His nostalgic reflections on his own upbringing will sound a resonant chord with readers everywhere who remember "Mom's taxi service," who were instructed to finish eating their food because "there are starving children in Africa," or who have felt the calm that fills a home when Mom is there. Funny, poignant, and uplifting, Mom: The Woman Who Made Oatmeal Stick to My Ribs is the perfect tribute to any mother. Book jacket.
