A jacket blurb suggests that Deliver Me ought to be on the table beside the reading lamp, ready to pick up and enjoy piece by lovely piece. Surely that’s so. But I read it in one sitting, compelled by the powerful, authentic voices heard in the collection’s essays, poems and stories…

Such a variety of voices and perspectives on motherhood. The pieces are touching, hilarious, uplifting, or insightful… sometimes simultaneously.

This collection of stories and poems is so beautiful. I read and re-read them all. They are fantastic. I’ve given copies to my friends for Mother’s Day!
— Julie F.
Deliver Me is a truly enjoyable read. Each short story and poem poignantly tells of the “real stuff” of parenting. This book strikes a chord with mothers of every age and circumstance… I laughed and cried, sometimes during the same short story or poem.
— Meredith S.
Once I opened the book, I couldn’t put it down! The varied perspectives of motherhood moved me to laughter and tears. A good reminder to “live in the moment.”
— Nancy K.
The essays and poems come in small packages, yet one short piece can trigger the same a tidal wave of emotions as a two-hour movie… There are pieces in here so exquisite that you’ll want to share the book with every mother you know… and their sons and daughters too.

This lovely little surprise made me weep and laugh. As a mother and grandmother, I really related. Laura Diamond and the other talented writers keep themselves and their readers startlingly honest about how the hardest job in the world is accomplished!
