Wonderfully touching

Fans of the [short story] genre will love this collection ... telling tales of great mothers, reluctant mothers and eccentric mothers that will have you laughing one minute and wiping away a rogue tear the next. Dip into it or read it from cover to cover as I did, I promise you won't be disappointed

A delightful ... touching, and often hilarious, compilation

A charming anthology

'Heart-warming ... told with humour ... Don't be surprised if you find yourself booking a plan ticket soon!'

'Fascinating and touching ... you can't put the book down'

'A sharp-witted and quirky sometimes-love story'

'Does Cox live happily ever after? Armchair travelers and diehard romantics will speed through this unique memoir to find out'

It is a story so extraordinary that you occasionally have to remind yourself that it actually happened... The best thing about this book is that ultimately it is an uplifting testament to the way a family can survive a nightmare that came close to breaking them.
