VACATION  HOLD UNTIL 4/28.

Here are my ideas. All are in nice condition,  although only one is like-new (which I note), but perhaps our Moms would just love a bunch of gently used books  tied up in  a pretty ribbon. They know we belong to a book swap, right?

And I would be happy to make a deal. PM me as well  as post here. Thanks  for looking:)

I still think this is a great idea, and Mother's day is only 3 weeks away!

Miracle of Love by Victoria Chandler--Time travel romance in which the h travels to the future (the 20th century) to save her infant son from a medical condition.  Very sweet and touching.

And for those without a mom close to us at this time, but with other great/strong women in our lives:

Phenomenal Woman--Maya Angelou (audio cassette)

Girlfriends: Invisible Bonds, Enduring Ties--Tamara Traeder, Carmen Renee Berry

Edited: to fix formatting

A Friendship with God http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780399145414-Friendship+with+God+An+Uncommon+Dialogue is an inspirational book for your mother, father, or anyone you are close to.  "The author urges each of us to forge our own unique relationship with God, a God who is everywhere and speaks to us in all we do. It is up to us to stop and listen. It is up to us to respond... to begin the conversation. And a conversation is the first step, just as in any relationship, in establishing trust, in building friendship, in creating communion."

Here is a link to my shelf http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/members_books.php?m=cXNqSjhXUDlsUU09 if you would like to order Friendship with God.  Also, I have a few audio selections for mothers who would prefer to listen to books.
