IT TAKES A MOTHER grants an intimate view into a young woman's struggle to balance her life's purpose with love for her husband and children. Set in the tumultuous civil rights era of the 1960's, she joins a black movement that fights a legal battle to force the powerful television industry to become racially inclusive. But her personal life is shattered by family alienation, attempted rape, life threatening disease, and failed relationships. Finally she realizes that not only Americas' but her own soul must be saved. With this shift in her focus, an extraordinarily enlightened Mother comes to the rescue and triggers a miraculous awakening that transforms her into higher realms. Equipped with new capabilities, she joins a team of Native American friends who live in a community of people so fully connected to their spirit that their relationships are deep and joy giving, despite poverty and difficult living conditions. The joy spills over into her other world and leads to an exquisite outcome. It Takes a Mother is an unexpected trip into the human soul that demystifies ancient spiritual knowledge and empowers the reader with divine universal truth.
