Life's editors have re-visited and updated more than half of the book, refreshed the photography with new material (including more full-color pictures) enlivened the design and format, and added not only new photos but also text and quotations that set the proper home - and hearth tone, then carry it straight through the book. The best 'Mum' images from Life's storied pictorial archive are here, as are disarming shots taken by the man in the street. The book represents a tribute to the bond each of us shares with our mothers, and also serves as an inspiration. It urges us to remember the best of times, the golden moments. It spurs us to remember the love.
