Publisher Description
Today, following decades of scientific and psychological study, there is overwhelming evidence that a mother's love does forever shape the life of a child. In her compelling new work, however, author and psychologist Brenda Hunter presents a convincing argument that indicates this love is even more powerful, even more far-reaching than our culture has yet realised not only for the child, but for the mother.
