"A masterful debut, Carolyn Davis Cid’s A Mother’s Love traces the story of a family’s struggle during the early, uncertain days of a global pandemic. Awash in uncertainty and despair, they cling to their roots in a desperate effort to rediscover hope in a world that seems to be teetering on its own doom.
A Mother’s Love is a meditation on the affirming, awe-inspiring power of family to see us through the darkness.”

"Back in the early days of the Coronavirus pandemic, when everything was still bewildering and terrifying, [we] talked at length about the art that would commemorate it, years down the line... This is not the first book I have read that features Covid, but it’s the best portrayal of that time period that I’ve found. It captured all the conflicting human emotions of that period in time. But more than that, it details family... I didn’t just read it, I absorbed it, I felt it. A wonderful book. Highly recommended."
