Feathers brush my heart : true stories of mothers touching their daughters' lives after death / [compiled by] Sinclair Browning.

Browning, Sinclair. (Author).

Summary:

Featuring more than 70 stories collected as part of "the Feathers project," Feathers Brush My Heart is a comforting book for women in times of loss. Each story, ranging in length from a couple of paragraphs to several pages, speaks of some sort of communication between mothers and daughters; what they have in common is that in each case, the mother has already passed away. In every other way, each story is entirely different.
