Mum

This is a story for everyone with aging parents. With love and always with humor, author, Frances Ferguson tells her own heartwarming story about her mother and herself, as they embark on the trip of a lifetime. 
 
The sacrifices and joys of being a caregiver are often written in the heart rather than on paper. Fran expertly captures these poignant and oh-so-real moments in a way that is uplifting, bringing new meaning to the inevitable place all children find themselves. So many of us are surprised when the roles reverse and we become the nurturers. But the circle of life is a perfect one, somewhere in time, the balance is struck, the scales on giving and receiving, even out. Parent and child are one and the same after all. Join Fran’s journey, recognize it as one you or someone you know and love will be taking in the future. This small book is her attempt to capture and share just a portion of it for memories sake.

Author Frances Ferguson has written for love most of her life. One of her most cherished published works was “After the Cards and Flowers”, a newspaper column dedicated to those who have lost a child or other loved one. This was written with knowledge and understanding gained from the murder of her only child. All her stories are laced with the wonder and joy found in everyday life. Her audiences are delighted with her wicked Cape Cod humor. But Fran is not just lite fare, it is her deeper spiritual committments that drive  that love to it’s finest expression. Her readers and listeners will always find the common thread that binds them together and they walk away inspired, more aware. Wanting more. 

Frances was raised in Falmouth, lived in Florida and Georgia for many years but returned home again with the common ailment of sand in her shoes.
