Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite fictional mother would have to be in a book that I am reading right now. It is called The Gift by Eileen Goudge. I think the reason I like her so much is because her daughters find out things about her in her Diaries that they thought their mother never could have done. Her name is Elizabeth Marshall.
ReplyDeleteI twittered about it at http://twitter.com/trishalynn0708 also.. Thanks again for the chance to win. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!

My favorite fictional mom is Barbara Forbes from Things I Want My Daughters To Know. She had terminal cancer, and wrote each of her four daughters letters that they receive after her death. Each letter is a bit of wisdom, tailored to that daughter, that helps each of them get through their grieving proceess, and to become stronger women. It's an amazing book. One of my favorites!
Great giveaway! My favorite mother is from a recent book I read because it's the one I can think of and that is Kerri Sullivan in Accidentally Yours by Susan Mallery.
ReplyDeleteFavorite fictional mother... Hmm. Good question. I guess I'd have to say Rachel Morgan's mom from the Hollows series by Kim Harrison.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Margaret "Marmee" March from Alcott's Little Women - one of my favorite novels of all time! It took a strong women to juggle all of those girls.

Michael Learned who portrayed Olivia Walton on The Waltons TV series is my favorite fictional mom.
ReplyDeleteI read mostly historical romance stories. That genre is my favorite, so there is no particular person that comes to mind. So I started thinking about fictional mothers on tv. Mrs. C on Happy Days comes to mind. She always seemed like a fun mother. Sometimes a little spacey but fun. :-D Thanks for the contest - the prize is fantastic.

ReplyDeletemakeupgirl21@comcast.net
I'm not sure if she's officially a mother as I'm not sure whether Marilla or her brother adopted Anne.
ReplyDeleteBut Marilla Cuthbert, practical, and non emotional, but who learns how to truly love Anne during the course of Anne of Green Gables.
I've always loved her character.
I don't have a particular favourite fictional mom because I've got the best real Mom ever!
