A Mother's Work is Never Done!
The Will to Succeed
The Will to Succeed gives a “through the eyes” glimpse into the emotions, thoughts, decisions, and highs and lows of a mother’s life. Although the consequences of a wrong decision, no matter how slight weigh heavily on her, she presses on – faithful, strong and determined.
Encapsulated in the eight chapters of this book, you will experience the uniqueness of life through the eyes and heartbeats of eight mothers and its ensuing oddities and uncertainties.
Although a compendium of ideas, thoughts, career fields and family structure is found among these mothers, one common thread connects them – commitment.
Several of the mothers are married. Some are single, and others widowed or divorced. One mother is a military spouse; the other an Admiral in the Navy.
Yet, each one is doing her best to love, protect and provide for her family.
Someone once explained motherhood to me with these words, “At a sporting event two types of people are gathered, spectators and participants. Anyone can be a spectator, just say whatever comes to mind, either for or against the contest or the contestants.”
“However, it takes a special warrior to be a participant. You are no longer in the stands, high and safe above the crowd. Now you are face-to-face with your opponent in the arena of life, fighting, striving, getting knocked down, getting dirtied but refusing to quit – those are the real mothers!”
