Customer Reviews

"I've been raising my now teenage sons on the West Coast, far from where Mackenzie writes of raising her daughters, yet the experiences she shares resonate for me completely. She interlaces poetry and prose to share stories that describe the richness of motherhood - the joys, the fears, the challenges, the feelings of inadequacy. She reminds us to cherish this path of motherhood - to remain open to all that it is showing us so that we can give more to our children, and and so that we can take in more deeply the richness of this experience. It is a book that any mother will relate to, and benefit from, regardless of the stage of motherhood she is currently experiencing."

"The Way They Heal Me is a beautifully written book that provides great insight into the thrill of motherhood including all the doubts, fears, joys, concerns, questions, lessons and sacrifices experienced along the way. Faith, peace and healing are themes weaved within the pages so intricately through both prose and poetry. The stories illustrated from the authors own experiences pull at the heartstrings of every woman who has ever wondered about her role as a mom. There is humor but also many tender moments that evoke a few tears.

As an almost empty nester, I thoroughly enjoyed the stories shared and can relate to many of them in raising my own daughters. An ever present theme in the book is that of the child as teacher. Truer words were never spoken.

I think this would be an excellent book for young women starting their own families, with all the same doubts, fears, questions and concerns that go with the territory. And for more seasoned mothers, this book will perhaps, encourage a greater understanding of some of the emotions we were never quite able to pinpoint when our own little ""teachers"" were young. While this is not an advice book, it would certainly provide some great insight for new mothers as they embark on one of the most beautiful journeys of their lives. "

"This book captures the true essence of motherhood throughout it's many seasons. I laughed, I wept, I understood and felt so many different emotions that only a mother can feel. The Way They Heal Me reminded me of my own two daughters when they were little and their innocence was still in tact. As they grow through their pre-teen and teenage years, I reminisce about their toddler years and wish I could turn the hands of time back to have just one more day with them as little girls. The author of this book captured so much of what my ""mommy"" heart feels and I am grateful that she was able to give voice to what my heart cannot speak."
