If you’re looking for the perfect gift, consider a gift composed by 13 women who have poured their hearts out to inspire and give courage to other women who have lost their children.

Farther Along: The Writing Journey of Thirteen Bereaved Mothers, by Carol Henderson (Willowdell Books, $17.95), is a creation from 13 bereaved mothers who first gathered for a one-day writing workshop 10 years ago.  Today, these ladies are still writing together and they have written many pieces about love and loss.   Farther Along features writing samples from each of the women, then chronicles their workshops and meetings through the years.  It is certainly a one-of-a-kind resource for anyone who has lost a loved one, especially those who have lost children.
