Description
Story of a young lady who leaves home in hope of finding fulfillment by independence and a career. Ignoring the blessings of her mother's love, she decides that raising children and keeping home is a wasted life, but soon discovers that the world's opportunities are full of deception and that what many call independence can make us slaves.
This is a difficult age to be a woman. At times it seems as if the entire culture conspires to belittle motherhood and home. The woman who aspires to raise children for the glory of God, to develop the ministry of the home, or to co-labor with her husband is deemed "old fashioned" or "unfulfilled." The modern lure of independence and career has bewitched an entire generation to exchange the beauty of Christian womanhood for the temporary comforts of a society at war with the family. Amidst this confusion, Kathleen Norris's Mother is a refreshing call to sanity.
Mother is the fictional tale of a young lady who leaves home and repudiates family life in the hope of finding personal fulfillment through independence and a career. Though she has benefited greatly from the love of her own mother, she decides that raising children and keeping home is a wasted life in comparison to the opportunities of the business world. But God dramatically changes her heart. She discovers that wealth and position are illusory and that independence can enslave a young lady. She discovers that the greatest woman she has ever known was her mother. Now she longs for home and for motherhood.
