Review
"Sacred Bond celebrates one of life's most precious relationships. These mother-and-son stories will touch every heart and inspire every soul." -- Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr.
"The women you are about to meet you've seen every day of your life. . . These are women committed to the honor of motherhood, and the young men who Keith Brown has carefully amassed speak about them in ways that only a son can speak, with a love that only a son can feel. For that reason, the 36 stories you are about to experience will hit you square in the chest. Some will make you laugh out loud. Others will bring tears to your eyes. None will leave you unmoved." -- From the foreword by James McBride, author of The Color of Water
