MOMS LOVE CHOCOLATE, TOO!Mothers do it all -- they teach, listen, guide, and protect. They shelter us from life's unexpected storms, nurture us into adulthood, and know just when to push us from the nest. Now the creator of the bestselling Chocolate series offers up a rich, soulful celebration of motherhood, one that any woman -- mother, daughter, sister, or best friend -- will love. Here are more true stories that capture the essence of what it means to be a woman and that honor the unforgettable experience of mothering, from the heartwarming and hilarious to the bittersweet: a mother sending her child off to school, or down the aisle ... a mother who knows just what to say and when to say it -- or keep it to herself ... a stand-in mom who passes for the "real thing" with flying colors ... a mother whose intuition never fails.... You're sure to recognize yourself -- or your own mom -- in the pages of Chocolate for a Mother's Heart.

Be Brave! Celebrate and Eat Chocolate! Every woman knows that courage isn''t just something you find in a crisis, it''s something you tap into every day of your life. In this triumphant salute to mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and colleagues, these 77 true-life stories celebrate women at their best -- willing to take risks, stand up for family and friends, find the love they need, claim their true spirit, laugh at their own foibles, and celebrate someone else''s success. Once again, Kay Allenbaugh has called upon women of all ages and backgrounds to share their own experiences as well as the strength and wisdom that have helped them through everyday challenges and difficult times.
