From PowerThink and Heartland Books comes MOM, The Woman Who Made Oatmeal Stick to My Ribs!

"Oatmeal might not really stick to ribs, but I never, ever, eat it without hearing mom's voice. So it wasn't just the oatmeal that stuck to this boy. The porridge was a symbol of something else that would stay with me 'her love and pride in me and the time-tested values she taught, which provided real warmth and a shield against the punches life would deliver.'

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. As Pratt leads the reader to a heart-touching conclusion, we understand that we can go home anytime we want by simply recalling the warmth of home-cooking; the caring of a mother eager and concerned over her brood.

'Mom, we say goodbye to you when we grow up, but you never leave us alone. Your face, your voice, your love, echoes throughout our lives, calling us back to simpler days and times. We see you with our eyes closed, there waiting with good food and a warm heart. We are listening to you, feeling your tender embrace, the kiss on our cheek' Mom, I'm closing my eyes now'

Funny, poignant, and uplifting, Mom: The Woman Who Made Oatmeal Stick to My Ribs is the perfect tribute to any mother. In paperback and E Book.
