Mother Knows

In the ten-plus years since Susan Burnmister-Brown and Linda B. Swanson-Davies founded "Glimmer Train, they have unveiled an astonishing array of talented and innovative authors to a growing readership hungry for quality, inspiring fiction. The stunning stories in this anthology--many of which have never appeared anywhere except in "Glimmer Train--explore one of the most complex emotional and psychological ties of all: motherhood, and its many facets. The writers in "Mother Knows include established authors as well as up-and-coming talents like Junot Diaz and award-winning young players like Robin Bradford, Nancy Reisman, Lee Martin, and Doug Crandell. Their stories demonstrate that motherhood is more than toilet training and tantrum control, as they portray the full, fierce, joyous, and frightening range of experience that marks this state of being. "Mother Knows is a thoughtful and thought-provoking gift for Mother's Day and a powerful exploration of the most mysterious bond in life.
