Author: Sherlyn Powell
Judge Number 39 Entry Category: Inspirational*An emotional story
The author carries us deftly through the benchmark moments of her life, with a quick pace. ...
...Scripture choices were wonderful, including some unique ones that were a pleasure to learn. Author’s faith stands out in this story as an inspiration. Author does more than explore motherhood; she creates powerful emotions about familyhood, aspirational and inspirational. Author handles dialogue very well, and I would have loved seeing more of that as a method of deepening the stories and giving us more insight into the characters, especially when dialogue is paired with movement and interaction, painting a realistic scene. Author knows how to do this well, and has in many places, which makes me want to see more of those clear, sensory scenes throughout. Well done. A book that delivers in creating an appreciation for mothers, and awakening positive emotions in readers who are mothers

AGift Called Mother:
The Stages and Fantasies of Motherhood
"Life gets difficult at times, but who else on this earth, but family has your back when you are down?" Pg. 51
This heartfelt testimonial brings together a love of God and an attachment to family values. From the birth of her children to the rocky roads all families must go through to the final happiness as a grandparent, Sherlyn Powell opens the door to her world as a guardian, a protector, and a mother. Her personal story will make you shed tears of compassion and empathy, but also thank the Lord with true humility.
Sherlyn Powell is many things: a businesswoman, a writer, but most importantly a mother. We are used to thinking that our everyday lives is not something that is interesting to write about, but A Gift Called Mother proves us wrong.
Sherlyn Powell took simple life experiences and made us connect to them, showing us how special each of these personal experiences really are. This book is full of unrestrained emotion, and by the end you will have truly understood the meaning of the eight words on the first page:
"It is a blessing to be called Mother."
This book is highly recommended by Boyu Huang, Allbooks Review.

I dedicate this review to the memory of my mom who just passed away and to every one who has the gift of being called Mother.
