Book Reviews of My Son, Beloved Stranger

Book Review: A Mother's Love
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a tremendously touching book about a mother's love for her son. It highlights how divisive and destructive blind dogmatism can be. Yet, throughout the book is a river of compassion. There is no bile or hatred or rage; just the grief of a mother who mourns for the needless suffering of her son.

Carrol Grady is a wonderful and compassionate person. On the strength of meeting her I bought the book. It frequently brought tears to my eyes. This was not just a story in the abstract, but the story of somebody I had gotten to know just a bit.
