A review by bobbiesdustypages
A Mother's Gift by Britney Spears, Lynne Spears
3.0
I read this book years ago when it was first released so I'm going to try and write a review from what I remember about it.
This was a book I really didn't think I was going to like to much since it was so different from my usual taste especially since it was written by Britney Spears(and her mother)who I have never been a fan of but I remember being very surprised on how much I did like it at the time.
Was it perfect no far from it the writing was okay for the most part but is was a very sweet and coming of age story about the relationship between a mother and her daughter and the sacrifices a mother would make for her daughter.
Holly Faye Lovell is a young girl from a small town in Mississippi who can sing better then anyone and gets accepted to a prestigious music school in the city. Her mother Wanda who she had always been closed to has what is believed to be birthmark on the side of her face that people who have never met the women tend to stare at, with Holly's new rich friends for the first time in her life Holly feels embarrassed and ashamed of her mother and the humble life style they live so she starts avoiding her once best friend/mother.
Finally her mother decides to share a secret she has been hiding for so long in the end when the secret is revealed the bond between mother and daughter is repaired and Holly learns to love and respect her mother even more.
