Mother is the fictional tale of a young lady who leaves home and repudiates family life in the hope of finding personal fulfillment through independence and a career. Though she had benefited greatly from the love of her own mother, she decides that home life is a poor choice in comparison to life in the big city. But God dramatically changes her heart. She comes to find that wealth and position are illusory and that independence can enslave a young lady. Eventually, she discovers that the greatest woman she has ever known is her mother.
