A Mother of Sons
By Jayne Jaudon Ferrer
Ferrer has crafted
a small volume of poems that uniquely express the experience of
being the mother of sons. Through her use of everyday words and
situations, she has produced a book of poems that are accessible
to a wide variety of readers. She chronicles the great love, pride,
heartbreak, anxiety, and exhaustion of raising boys to manhood.
This book will surely
be a delight for mothers with sons, whether they find themselves
nodding their heads in agreement or they learn about situations
to expect farther down the line. Ferrer’s simple yet genuine
style gives life to the experiences she portrays and will easily
draw readers into the world of motherhood.
