“The bond that exists between a mother and her children. It’s like an invisible cord tying your heart to theirs. And it’s a cord that can never be broken, no matter how old they get or how far they roam.” “Your children are a part of you for as long as you live.” (358)
The quote above sums up the novel. Of course there were some twists and turns. Shock every time I realized that the book was set in the 1960s and NOT the 1860s. But that thread of motherhood, and that invisible cord is what tugged at my heart. Perhaps, the novel was much more poignant for me, as I have a new granddaughter who lives 1700 miles away. My love for her is immeasurable, even though I haven’t met her yet. Yes, that invisible cord is what ties us together…
