Synopsis
Take My Hand
One day, while feeling nostalgic because it hit me that my children were grown and moving on to start their life on their own, I started thinking of the first time I took their hands in mine, and every time they took my hand since then and the significance it had, and still has to this day.
I wondered how every mother in the world handled this feeling and decided to include each mom from every walk of life into my story. I'm sure MANY mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, daughters, etc. can relate to one, if not all, of the beautiful memories of holding our mom's hand or our babies holding ours!
My Thoughts
Take My Hand by Giovanna Gutta is a must read for everyone.
As Mother’s Day approaches, it’s only natural that we find ourselves thinking more about the mothers — and mother figures — in our lives.
I’m not a mom, but I often ponder motherhood (I’m at the age when an influx of friends begin to get married and have children) and how miraculous, difficult, and nonetheless worthwhile it must be. Most of the mothers in my life echo this sentiment. They assure me that while raising children isn’t easy, it can be incredibly gratifying. Not every mother shares this experience, though. Motherhood is complex, and for some moms, it’s exceptionally difficult. The truth is, there’s no right way to be a mother, and every mom’s experience is varied and valid. Sharing those unique experiences is one of the best ways to educate people — including other mothers — about how motherhood differs based on factors like culture and class. Luckily, many moms are doing just that; they’re writing books about the various faces of motherhood.
Take My Hand is one of those wonderful books written by Giovanna Gutta in which she showcases motherhood from different perspectives. This is a powerful book about motherhood and her love for her child a must-read for everyone looking to better understand the challenges , triumphs, love of a mother towards her child , the idea of becoming a mother — and being responsible for someone other than yourself. This book is lovely and I related to this book very deeply, which is maybe odd, because I don't actually have children. But I'm trying to decide if I want to, and reading this memoir allowed me to feel like I was sitting inside a close friend's mind while she shares all her emotions with me.
The writing is inviting , It's a slim book and I read it in one sitting. I liked Giovanna Gutta's writing very much. Giovanna Gutta is a hell of a writer, there are plenty of sentences here that make you stop and take notice.
Highly Recommended!
