The Mother of All Titles

Greetings, Writers.

The question was:

If you wrote a book about your mother, what would the title be?

For some the answer came quickly,
for others it was agony.
Some said there was just no time,
others, just no interest.
'Tis the nature of the business.

The answer is:

A Quiet Strength by Rich Barley

When Crickets Sing by Margie Cullen

How to Raise a Motherless Child by Rita J. Morrow

O Mother, Where Art Thou? by Alice Rowan (Rita's sister)

She Named the Liesas Kudas Rozinante by Irena Rusenas

Superwoman by Todd Watson

Mother's Day is Like a Baseball Glove by Charlie Yordy

A Mother's Steadfast Love by Roselle Zubey

Please, God, Don't Let Me Be a Copy of Her by Carol Causey
Oh, My God! I am My Mother! (also by Carol... but as a mother)

1. Go Play in Traffic
2. All She Could, Everything She Knew: All for Us
3. Chasing Plates
4. Trusting My Grandfather's Daughter by Alison Beard, in four volumes

Hopefully we all thought a little bit about what a title means for a book. Ralph Bieber had a suggestion for a title . . . but it had to be censored. Probably would have sold a lot of books, though.

I hope you all have a good day. Thanks to all your mothers for getting you here! Hope to see you, soon.

~ Rita, Secretary, CPWO
