I will never forget Mom's guiding love when she reminded me as a young man to
warm myself with her oatmeal, nor the taxi rides she gave me even though I was strong
enough to walk where I needed to go.
I can't forget the cheerleader Virginia
Pratt was on winning nights and losing nights when she came with my worn and
tired construction worker father to my high school football games. Nor will I ever
forget her gentle mending of a physical body scraped or cut or beat from
playing too hard.
Somehow Mom always made me feel as if I
was her only son ...
"Oatmeal might
not really stick to ribs, but I never, ever eat it without hearing Mom's
voice."
Such is the influence of our mothers, as shown by New York Times bestselling
author James Michael Pratt in this heart-touching book.
His nostalgic
reflections on his own upbringing will sound a resonant chord with readers
everywhere who remember "Mom's taxi service".
Who were
instructed to finish eating their food because "there are starving children in
Africa or China" or who have felt the calm that fills a home when Mom is there.
Funny, poignant,
and uplifting, Mom: The Woman Who Made Oatmeal Stick to My Ribs is the perfect
tribute to any mother.

James Mitchell
