Love You More Than You Know by Janie Reinart


When my son went to war, I placed a blue star in my window.
My experience led me to collect 45 personal stories from mothers telling what it means to send our sons and daughters to war. Love You More Than You Know (Gray & Company 2009) is free of political commentary, and completed these goals:
 
·      To share stories from mothers of soldiers so that families living through a similar trauma will see they’re not alone
·      To use writing as a therapeutic tool for mothers recovering from the experience of sending their children to war
·      To give back to our soldiers by raising money to help our injured veterans when they return from war. (A portion of the proceeds from the book is being donated to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund and ReMIND.org an initiative of the Bob Woodruff Foundation.)
 
The last chapter offers a writing component encouraging mothers to write their own stories and submit them to be shared on my blog: www.loveyoumorethanyouknow.com.
