Same House Different Address

Renee M. Reed and Lori Ann Falkenstein, both married to their high school sweethearts and mothers of four, met working at a clinical laboratory. They quickly realized that even though they look different on the outside, their similarities as mothers weigh far greater. The love they teach to and feel for their families is identical. Renee and Lori invite you into their homes to share their stories and highlight the universal bond of motherhood that allows differences to be celebrated.

This book is written for everyone. From young adults to caretakers, to grandparents. The experiences we share are real and raw and our wish is for mutual respect despite each other's differences. Our stories are a joyful celebration of friendship between two women whose hope is for a future marked by compassion. Let's work together to create a future filled with empathy for one another.
