This book has such a sick premise that it left me stunned. If ever an author needed to think about getting psychological help....Somebody gave this book to my granddaughter, and I had the unfortunate experience of reading it to her. Since she was only 1 1/2 yrs old at the time, it bothered me more than it bothered her, as she was too young to understand why it was so sick!A mother (who clearly needs counseling) sneaks into her son's room each night to sing him a song and hold him, even when he eventually becomes a man and moves across town! When she is sick and dying, he does the same for her and then repeats the cycle with his own baby.Don't buy this book! What was the author thinking? Speaking of "mamma's boy" fantasies!
