“At a time when so many young families break down, when divorce, for many, appears easier than marriage, when careers take precedence over parenting, this testimony inspires faith, hope, and love.
I have not found any more moving statements than those presented in this book. Women and men from all walks of life affirm their intent to contribute to our society by nurturing children, reinforcing family values. […]
To those who had the courage to gather this heart-felt testimony, I say ‘thank you’. Much love was required to create such a loving book.”

“Never has a book on family life touched me as much as this one has. Never. I came upon it accidentally and I ended up standing there for nearly an hour, unable to put it down. I picked it up again to write a commentary for these pages and the emotion was the same. You enter into it like into your own family photo album; I laughed, I cried, I knitted my eyebrows. Each page touched me deeply: all these lives, all these families, all these faces. Here is a book that moves us profoundly because it talks about us, about our children and our parents, about death, about birth and about suffering.”

“With eloquence and honesty, the parents (and others) who speak in these pages open up their lives, their thoughts, their hearts.”
