Or give mom some peace and quiet while she enjoys:

  • Mother’s Day, Muffins and Murder by Sara Rosett – “As a regular volunteer at North Dawkins Elementary, Ellie would never miss the annual Mother's Day breakfast--even if she has to tolerate the likes of Gabrielle Matheson. The rivals aren't exactly sworn enemies, though Ellie still thinks there's only room for one professional organizer in their small Georgia town. But when Gabrielle reports finding a dead body inside the supply closet, the two women form an alliance to teach a killer a lesson in justice . . .”
  • Mother’s Day Miracle by Lois Richer – “Sometimes, when she thought none of the town's busybodies would hear, Clarissa Cartwright prayed aloud for a husband to love her, and a chubbycheeked baby--or two. But when a brooding single dad and his four orphaned nieces and nephews moved next door, Clarissa didn't think this was God's answer. Until an accident brought them all under her roof--and the now-desperate dad proposed marriage! Clarissa knew she would marry Wade Featherhawk for the sake of the children, but that didn't stop her from falling in love with the proudly independent man who was so determined to make a good life for his instant family. But could God make Wade see that Clarissa was not just a good mom--but the answer to prayers from his lonely heart, as well?”
