On September 11th, Patti Lynn Bongiorno sat in her Dallas living room and watched in horror as terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center in New York. She knew that a family member, the mother of two young girls, was at work in the South tower. In the days that followed, Patti rarely moved from the TV as she waited for survivors to be rescued from the rubble. On September 15th, she realized there would be no survivors and wrote, "Where Does A Mom's Love Go?" for the two little girls whose Mom would never come home again.

"Moms who know they are dying leave tapes and letters for their children to open on special ocdasions such as birthdays, graduations and weddings. The moms who were killed that day never had a chance to leave behind those gifts."

This book carries the message of hope for all children that have lost their mother. "'Where Does a Mom's Love Go?' belongs on every family's bookshelf. Children of all ages will find the illustrations visually appealing and the gentle text reassuring. In these troubled times, Bongiorno's book brings us closer together and reaffirms the strength of the human spirit."
