Synopsis
In the moving "Love Can Move Mountains", author Elizabeth Atkins Bowman explores the meaning of the African-American saying, "Mountain, get out of my way!" in a story about the miraculous, mysterious power of a mother's love. In Arethia Hornsby's "My Momma Said..." two friends go out on the town and learn a life lesson that proves the truth behind the ages-old proverb, "Never judge a book by its cover." Town gossip gets the best of a loyal wife and gives credence to C.F. Pope's saying, "Never declare war unless you mean to do battle", in Gwynne Forster's wry tale of comeuppance, "First Thing Monday Morning."
