I read “Revolutionary Mothers” by Carol Perkins. Berkins tells the many different stories of women throughout the Revolutionary War and the struggles and strives each women faced and overcame. She introduces us to women from all different backgrounds and their own personal stories that have so greatly affected our history today. Throughout the book Berkins shows how large of a role women played during this time period, even though it is often overlooked.

Her journey underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community in times of adversity.
“Through the Tunnel” illustrates the importance of having control in life but still utilizing a “backup” plan in times of need. Jerry began as a child that was dependent on his mother but, as the story built itself, forced his mother to give him a leash.

Dr Ben (James Stewart) early in the film is projected as bossy and always domineering. When Jo hears the news from Ben that her son has been taken away, we see a complete transformation from a cheerful mother talking about conceiving a second child to a near hysteric.
