Brenda Burling’s New Book, Mother’s Love, Celebrates Motherhood In All Its Forms

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, set in the 1960’s, Mother’s Love by Brenda Burling, follows the journey of Sal, an unmarried pregnant woman who decides to use her situation to take control of her destiny.

Mother’s Love

Sal, a young woman living in the 1960s who was unmarried and pregnant, is the protagonist of Mother’s Love. Using her ‘circumstance’ as an opportunity to to determine her own destiny, she makes the decision to leave the city in order to start a new life for herself and her baby. When she starts her new job at a doctor’s office in a small town, Sal finds that people aren’t as judgmental as she thought, and she forms new relationships that change her life forever.

Mother’s Love explores Sal’s unique relationships with each of her daughters, whose lives are intertwined by the fragile bonds of love and sisterhood. It also follows Sal through the highs and lows, tragedy and triumph, of life and motherhood.

This sixth novel from a writer who doesn’t want to fit into any one genre is eloquent, heartbreaking, and empowering. It’s an engaging read that women of all ages will love and understand.

Brenda Burling, the author of Mother’s Love, explained that the story is about a young woman in the 1960s who finds herself in the position of becoming a mother without a husband. However, the pregnancy does grant her new freedoms and control over her future, prompting her to make significant lifestyle adjustments: making new friends, changing jobs, and moving house. She finds new relationships that completely alter her life when she least expects it.

Brenda Burling

Brenda Burling lives on the Essex-Cambridge line, and is a mother, spouse and full-time daydreamer. In addition to enjoying good food, wine, and whisky, one of her favorite pastimes is watching people pass through airports: a fantastic location for character development.

She stated that she can only answer “everything” when asked about her inspirations. She writes whenever she can because it makes her happy.

She has been thinking about writing Mother’s Love, her sixth book, for a long time. Her books range from romance novels to cancer support books that are upbeat and humorous.
