“In When Mom’s Calling, we feel the heart wrenching pull of our birth mothers and Mother Earth, a soul stirring call that aches with love and longing, urging us to reclaim the simple truths we carry as mothers truths drowned out by a disconnected, technical world. Colleen’s words, rich with wisdom, must be shared to guide us in raising kind, curious children, deeply rooted in their connection to all existence, growing into brave, humble adults who live authentically and honor the sacred bonds tying us to each other and the Earth.”

“When Mom’s Calling is a book you will want to linger over, have coffee over, have nearby at all times and one you will want to spend some time each day with. It is poetic, hypnotic and captivating. Easy to read, easy to digest and deeply spiritual, this is a coffee table book of the highest order. Colleen O’Callaghan-Miele carefully captures the essence of the mother – child relationship and reminds us all that this connection spans lifetimes.”
