Mother Love (Paperback)

A powerful story about family ties, unconditional love, and the sometimes reluctant acceptance of choices made by those we love.... Widow Barbara Malone, RN, age 52, joins the Peace Corps and finds straddling her old staid life in Lewiston, Pennsylvania, and her new unpredictable one in the mountains of Honduras an adventure well worth the sacrifice. The interaction of her four adult children and their grandparents as they deal with Barbara's decision to join the Peace Corps sets in motion an intense story of family ties that refuse to be broken by distance, doubt, or antagonism. Barbara's new life proves to be exciting yet exhausting in the mountain village where phone service is sporadic and even electricity is a rare luxury. She grows to love her work with the Hondurans and a dash of romance helps her feel more alive than she has in years.
