Shows For A Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day
As he introduces Hallmark Playhouse, James Hilton tells us that Kathleen Norris's (no relation) novel Mother is a warm-hearted glorification of that human relationship which is so close to us all the year round but, which on the second Sunday of May each year we bring in to special focus.
And on this special day we have decided to bring this heart-warming story in to focus. Mother was Norris's first novel and was published in 1911 and has proved extremely popular ever since.
Margaret is a young woman, the eldest from a family of seven siblings all of whom her mother is devoted to. However when Margaret takes a job for a wealthy family in New York her mother is worried that she is too impressed by wealth and position. On a trip to Italy with her employer Margaret meets and falls in love with John however she thinks that he won’t like her if he meets her family in their worn home and is embarrassed to invite him home. However Margaret’s mother invites John for dinner and to her surprise he loves her family and Margaret comes to realise how beautiful her mother truly is.
I will be adding this story to RUSC on Mother's Day, May 9th, 2010 however here is a list put together by Joy and I for a Happy Mother's Day.
Happy listening my friends,
