In I Love You, Mom!, accomplished people including Kelly Ripa, Sally Jesse Raphael, Cindy Adams, Pat Schroeder, and Nia Vardalos share their personal stories about the most important people in their lives -- their mothers. Larry King tells of his doting mom, who always believed he could accomplish whatever he wanted in life. Liz Smith writes about the various definitions of motherhood, while Finola Hughes describes her mother's great sense of humor. Kelly Ripa's moving essay expresses gratitude for her mom's hours of listening and unconditional support and for being an amazing role model. With blank pages on which you can write your own personal thank-you, I Love You, Mom! is the perfect Mother's Day gift. Kelly Ripa, formerly of All My Children, is cohost of Live with Regis and Kelly. A mother herself, Kelly thanks her own mom for always being her best friend. Kelly lives in New York with her husband, actor Mark Consuelos, and their children. Mothers Against Drunk Driving is her charity of choice, and she has donated a portion of the proceeds from this book to MADD.
