She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections on Motherhood may be ordered for Mother’s Day through Amazon. www.budurl.com/MotherChapbook. Carolyn says of the book, “The poems reflect on motherhood in general. However, a certain passage might have special meaning for you and your mother. We’re often part of the sandwich generation meaning we’re taking care of our own children and also our mothers and fathers, often ailing. Many of us are juggling two careers (or more!) if we’ve chosen to work outside the home as well as take care of that home ourselves. We partner more with husbands or partners who are sharing responsibilities that once were only under the purview of the mom-of-the-house. But moms are still the same in many ways. We are still often the fixers, the worriers, the most caring of caretakers. This is a year when moms may need more tender care than they’ve been given in the past. ‘
