Book Review: The Most Inspiring Book Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
A Mother's Gift is a story about a mother and daughter relationship. Which is very similar of the authors relationship, and story of their life. In other words, it is the story on how Britney and Lynne Spears life changed when Britney was beginning to live her dreams. The story uses different characters and settings. The book talks about how the Lovell family is very poor but Holly, the daughter of Wanda Lovell, loves to sing and is very good at it. One day her mother sent the Haverty School, a school where all of the rich and famous come from, a tape that had a performance of Holly's singing talent. Sure enough they got a call that they would love to see her perform live, to see if she is eligible for a scholarship. After a few weeks of stress and hoping, she was offered a scholarship to Haverty, and she took it. The close relationship the mother and daughter had, is being threatened since Holly is going away to school. Wanda needs to tell her daughter something very important before she leaves, but she never had the chance. So now Wanda has an important secret that she needs to tell Holly as soon as possible.A Mother's Gift is one of the best books I have ever read. I am not a big reader, but this book actually kept my interest, and I enjoyed reading it. Probably, because the mood of the book was very happy and uplifting. The book showed you that you can always have a loving relationship, even if it is with your mom, dad, friends, or anyone else. When you have a loving relationship, like they show you in the book, then you would have the perfect life. Even if you don't live in the biggest house, have the nicest cars, or a lot of money. The story explains that if you live a happy and spiritual life, anything that you love, dream and want, can come true. As long as you live your life right. When I read this book, it made me want to start working, praying, and live my life to the fullest, so I can start making my dreams come true. I would defiantly say that this book is a very inspiring book.
Summary of A Mother's Gift
Holly Faye Lovell sure can sing. Everyone in Biscay, Mississippi, knows that. And when at fourteen she becomes the youngest student ever to win a scholarship to the prestigious Haverty School of Music, her dream of pursuing a singing career is on its way. But for the first time in her life, Holly must leave behind her mother, Wanda. Although they don?t have much in the way of money, there?s always been plenty of love . . . and there?s always been Wanda?s birthmark, an ugly red scar on the side of her face that makes people who don?t know her turn away. Now that Holly's off with her posh new friends and new life, she?s ashamed to find herself embarrassed by her mom and their humble background. And Wanda finds herself wanting to reveal a long-hidden secret . . . a secret that could destroy their bond forever.A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to The Britney Spears Foundation.
