Customer comments on this selection. It is Beautiful This book was so wonderful. It allowed me to see the heart of a mother and grand-darling all in one. Thank you for opening up and sharing this profound story to the world. About the book Experience a heart-warming story of one mother's emotional connection to her daughter's pregnancy and her joy of becoming a grandmother. This is a wonderful story of a journey back in time and a journey into the future-all in nine months. Through her daughter's pregnancy, a soon-to-be grandmother relives moments of her own pregnancy and is brought face-to-face with questions about her own role as a mother. Edwina was very happy; but she was just not connected until a "Kiss" touched her heart and changed her life. Eventually her unborn grandbaby put everything in a new perspective. Settle back for a few moments of the heart. You will laugh and cry at the same time. This story is a story of love and goose bumps and second chances. Excerpt -The Kiss "The woman smiled in her sleep. She was dreaming. She smiled again. In her in-between dream state, she was trying to be sure she'd remember every detail of this special dream. She wanted nothing to slip away. This was one of those rare moments in one's lifetime, when everything seems suspended in time and joy falls softly on every part of one, inside and out, like a sudden summer rain. In her bed, in the silence, replaying every little element of this dream in her head, her heart, and her soul was so essential-this was such a wonderful moment!" "The room had a soft ambiance, somewhat like the billows of clouds. The air was calm. The peace of the early morning bedroom was quickly filled with a greater sense of calm, stillness. Suddenly, like a falling star up in the sky, a baby descended. Out of nowhere it just appeared and hovered, eye to eye, its soft breath bringing love and life to the woman in bed. For a few seconds, they exchanged breaths, rhythmically. Then, looking into the woman's eyes, the baby kissed her. It was one of those soft, hollow kisses; the kind mothers never forget - a warm, open-mouthed kiss from lips and gums. Almost as soon as their lips touched, the baby's mouth pulled back into a wide, glowing smile. For a moment, their eyes met and their hearts met. The woman touched her lips; soft, warm, and now sacred. The baby had just delivered a kiss for grandma." Excerpt-Another Chance "Although I told Angela about the dream shortly thereafter, it was not until later that I realized why I had hesitated. Angela had always said that I loved her brother, James, more than I loved her. Somehow, inwardly, I had wondered if Angela would feel that I loved the baby more. It was in the middle of that thought that I had seen Angela's face in the face of the baby that kissed me. God's giving me another chance, I had thought. I get another chance to be a good mother to Angela through the life of her new baby. Through the kiss, Angela thanked me and the baby thanked me. It all became so very clear. In the face of the baby, I saw Angela, I saw myself, I saw my mother, and I saw my mother's mother. For the first time in a very long time, I loved myself, I forgave myself, and I paid homage to the mothers in my family, all of whom were a part of that special kiss."
