Three stories celebrating motherhood and love.
"The Mother's Day Murder" by Lee Harris
Former nun trying to solve the murder of a young woman, presently a nun, claiming to be the daughter of Sister Joseph: her mentor and dear friend. Good plot twist.
"Every Day Is Mother's Day" by Hilary Mantel
Mother and mentally challenged daughter dealing w/ socoal services; want to remove her from home but daughter is quite crafty and manipulative; dark humor and supernatural aspects.
"Slaughterhouse-five"by Kurt Vonnegut
Classic absurdist tale. Tells of Billy Pilgrim who get "unstuck" in time and travels throughout his life, including being POW in WWII in Dresden, Germany during firebombing, but also to another planet: Tralfamador. The Dresden portion is based upon Vonnegut's true life experience as a POW during WWII in Dresden firebombing killing thousands of civilians. Part sci-fi, part true story.
"What They Carried" by Tim O'Brien
Collection of shortstories about Vietnam. Weapons and good-luck charms carried by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam here represent survival, lost innocence and the war's interminable legacy.
