Synopsis
When My Mommy Cries is a tender story about a little girl who feels scared, confused, and abandoned when her mother becomes deeply sad. Through reassuring honesty, gentle compassion, and mutual respect, they nurture the bonds of trust, as the girl discovers that nothing--not even sadness or depression--can separate her from the safety and security of her mother's love.
Crystal offers this book--and the poignant song which accompanies it--with the heartfelt hope that it may be a tool for healing--to help families like my own, who have borne the burden of depression or grief, become stronger at the broken places. May it help all who read it find deeper empathy for others, gentler patience with themselves, and greater wisdom for facing life's struggles with the children they love.
