Lessons From My Parents: 100 Shared Moments that Changed Our Lives

by Ashley Nance (primary_contributor), Michele Robbins (Editor)

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you began to appreciate the stories and lessons your parents might have shared with you? Perhaps it was a moment quietly working when your father told you of his painful experience during WWII; or when your mother taught you about beauty while picking daffodils for her neighbor; or when in a moment of tragedy you recall how your parents handled something so difficult with such poise and strength that it helped you go on? Our culture and our history is created through stories, personal stories, whether funny or sad, light or difficult, poignant or profound. Lessons From My Parents has collected 100 such stories from writers from across the world and shares them in this seminal work celebrating the life lessons we learn without even realizing it.

[Evelyn Krieger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This anthology is from a new book publisher, Familius, whose mission is to celebrate and strengthen the family. My essay, "More Precious Than Pearls", is included among the 100 essays and memoirs. The collection ranges from serious to comic with themes such as Aging Parents, Fathers to Daughters, Unconditional Love, and Wise Words. The book would make a nice Mother's or Father's Day gift.

This is a great read. Enjoy the diversity of memories.
