Mother’s Child
By Michael Conant
Genre: Women’s Literature
About the Book
Told in the voice of June, the story’s protagonist, Mother’s Child is a “slice of life” as it unfolds during a short period in a lifetime; strung together by one intensely charged event after another. It is the humor of life, marriage, and motherhood surrounded by the challenges of fighting the onslaught of an unknown disease, broken societal systems, and the suffering of broken hearts. It is the story of the average woman, finding her extraordinary voice, and having the courage to be heard.
In just over two months, June Gallagher’s life has turned upside down; it will take a lifetime to resemble “normal” again. Her son’s life is on the line–she is determined to save him.
