On Tour With Margaret McSweeney and "A Mother's Heart Knows"!

Photobucket


What better way to tell Mom how much you appreciate her on Mother's Day than with this lovely reminder of thoughts about the loving, selfless attitudes that fill a mother's heart?

With gorgeous photography and words that come from the heart, this is a book that will bless any mom. It's the perfect gift for mothers, grandmothers, and mothers of the heart. Beautifully designed, the words and images brought tears to my eyes as I remembered my own mom, now with the Lord nearly two years. She would have loved this book.

All royalty proceeds from this book go to WINGS (Women In Need Growing Stronger) and a student missionary scholarship fund. WINGS is a non-profit organization that provides a domestic violence shelter for women and their children in addition to transitional housing and programs.
