The Best Mom There Can Be by Brenda M. Higgins We go through life meeting people of all types and loving some of them. When we do, we easily take for granted the first person who nurtured our hearts to the act of loving--our mothers. The Best Mom There Can Be is just not one of those who forget; instead--and in its own little way--it affirms the roots of the first civilization-building human capacity in humanity. In the book, Brenda M. Higgins points to such little things as doing the dishes, those little shows of human frailties, or by the mere act of driving away a threatening bee that nurse the often unspoken root of affection and love for the child. Reading to her dear child is also an act that does not escape the tender heart, one act that will linger for the entire life of the little one.
