The Will And The Way Of A Mother

Parents make a lot of sacrifices for their children and family every day. They would do anything to give their children a happy and healthy upbringing. Some might have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet for their family. Their immense love and tremendous sacrifices often go unnoticed and get minimum acknowledgement only on Mothers'Day and Fathers' Day. During the Covid-19pandemic, we have praised the nurses and healthcare workers for their courage and dedication and called them "Heroes." But, for me, parents are the real heroes! These "Daily Heroes" have inspired me to write this Children's Book "The Will and the Way of a Mother" to highlight and help us remember the great sacrifices that mothers/parents have made for their families. 

In spite of the challenges and misfortunes that a wild dog mother, Zoey, has to face, she relies on her strong will and determination to find ways to protect her family and raise them to be strong and courageous member like her. Zoey lost her husband/partner while she has a young litter and a group of rambunctious teenagers. She has no help other than her strong will and some luck from the higher power to get her through the tough time. Against all odds, she is able to keep all her young pups safe to adulthood and manage to get her teenagers to do the right things for their families. I hope her story will inspire all mothers/parents, especially single mothers/parents, to keep their chin up and rely on the help from people around them and the higher power to overcome their life challenges and raise a healthy and happy family.
