"Wow, Brenda!! I read it all. I was inspired both by your remarkable photographs (incredible) and by your stories, choice of words, phrases, poems, inferences and thoughts. Its incredibly moving and inspiring and beautiful and if ever there was a word that could as strongly as possible enmesh these descriptors ... even that would be an understatement! You made my day! Congratulations. You are very talented. The book is brilliant!"

   "The experience of parenting is one that seems to be beyond any words. When you’re a mother, you know it because you feel it. Yet somehow, Brenda Hunter has managed to convey the deep, profound, beautiful insights and emotions that define this experience in her book “Sacred Mothering.” All children are our children, and this book, with its symbolic and captivating imagery, is for all of us."

  "The highs and lows of being a mother are brought to life in Sacred Mothering. The book is compassionate, accessible, and very moving, with stories of heartache and frustration but also of joy and the innocence of childhood. Sacred Mothering reminds us on every page that mother is the first and most important person in our lives. An exceptional and enjoyable book for mothers in all stages of motherhood."
