A Heart Never Dies by Karen G. Bruce

Jenna has just lost her husband to a drunk driving accident. Her world has been turned upside down...and then she meets Ben.

Gone Before Breakfast by Jan Howery
If your mom likes mystery novels, this one is the perfect choice for her!
When brothers Jackson and Brandon Taylor vanished without a trace at the airport, their girlfriends, Jan and Allison, are left heartbroken and confused. The women have no idea where the brothers went, or how they disappeared from the airport. After years of no clues, Jan and Allison move on with their lives.
Allison soon meets an investigator who reveals that there’s a secret ongoing investigation of the brothers. Through twists and turns, Allison discovers the truth and learns that their boyfriends were in danger. Does she keep the secrets to herself? Does Jan need to know the truth? The brothers could be alive, but finding them will put Allison’s and Jan’s lives at risk.

Pure Joy's Life Through the Wrong End of My Binoculars by Joy Smith Walsh
For moms who like a bit of humor in their stories, this book is perfect!
The simple humor of this Southern-style family will hit home for many readers. Walsh hopes to honor family and others associated with her stories in her best "Southernese" Tennessee style!
This book is filled with poignant and funny situations any reader can relate to. So, please, take a look through the wrong end of Walsh's binoculars and enjoy life's absurd humor.

Finally, I wanted to mention a Christian book from Connie Clark-Thompson called From the Fence: Gardening with God One Sense at a Time.
For mothers who are looking for a new daily devotional, this one is the perfect gift!
The poverty of our senses, both physical and spiritual, is in ourselves -- not our surroundings. No matter where you call home, the night skies are as beautiful over your home as any other.
With this book, the author allows readers to explore the love of nature and God's Word and shows that there are always new discoveries to be made on every path. The reader will be immersed as their senses are delighted and sharpened.
