Readers respond to Smotherly Love™
"Smotherly Love™ is the funniest read in years! I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. ...I was reading in a dentist's waiting room and was nearly removed. Simply too funny!" — Lana, working mom of two
"I enjoyed that [Smotherly Love™] was about difficult situations, but the solutions focused on the big picture and the long term relationship rather than who was right and who was wrong. I liked Debi's great idea to consult a group of friends for advice, with the result being an objective opinion unclouded by emotion. One of my favorite things was discovering that Debi's daughter Elizabeth inherited her humor and wit and knows how to use them effectively. It was a fun book!" — Cynthia, working mom of six
"Smotherly Love™ is an entertaining, clever and fun read for mother and daughter.... practical bite-sized nuggets of wit with wisdom which is perfect for mother-daughter bonding conversations." — Pam Farrell, relationship expert and author of Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti
"Within the past few months my 14-year-old daughter, Lily, has been struggling emotionally. Lily is a very focused, loving young lady who might, quite frankly, have too much on her plate. ... Your book, Smotherly Love™, was sent by God into my life for such a time as this. A dark time with so much family turmoil has been lightened by your humor and I especially have been holding on to the prayers in the book. ... [Smotherly Love™] has been God's perfect timing in my life. Thank you for using your God-given talents to help us. ...I am happy to report that Lily and I are doing better and she has made some life changes which are healthy for her and I'm so proud of her." — Peggy, working mom of three
"With her trademark hilarity, Debi Stack breathes new life into motherhood, inspiring mothers and daughters to embrace their alternately satisfying and suffocating relationships. Each true story, twice-told, first by moms and then their daughters, is warm, witty and wise. Smotherly Love™ is a creative breath of fresh air—a must-read for mothers and daughters who love God, love each other and love to laugh at themselves. I can’t wait to share it with my daughter!" — Lynn D. Morrissey, author of Love Letters to God: Deeper Intimacy through Written Prayer
"I received [Smotherly Love™] as a Mother’s Day present and read it right away! I must say it brought back memories of the 'snow shovel' incident at my house! (Something about my room needing to be cleaned…) [Smotherly Love™] was a joy to read and I appreciate the biblical insight and prayers at the end of each story. Especially now that I have a daughter. It’s that moment when you hear the words of your mother and then realize they came from your mouth!! Maybe she was wise after all! Thank you again! It was fun to read and see that other people are going through the same things." — Pam, working mom of two
"Debi Stack’s Smotherly Love™ is a...hilarious treatment of the mother-daughter relationship.... Highly recommended for mothers and daughters of any age!" — Kathi Macias, author of How Can I Run a Tight Ship When I'm Surrounded by Loose Cannons?
