“MOTHERHOOD:  A RADIO COLLECTION from Prairie Home Companion is a hoot!!  Beginning with the first story of Dwayne receiving a phone call from his meddling mother and continuing on and on….this close look at motherhood is poignant while hilarious.  Give it to your mother, your grandmother, your aunt.  And hey, Mothers, give it to your children so they can walk in your shoes!  The perfect gift!”
– Nancy Simpson, Book Vault, Oskaloosa, IA

“She brought you forth out of the cloud of genetics and fed and clothed you and taught  you to wipe yourself and say Please and Thank You and never expected you to pay her back, only that you behave appropriately and try to make something of yourself and not land in prison but if you had, she’d love you because after all she’s your Mother.”
— Garrison Keillor

ABOUT THIS RADIO COLLECTION

The Midwest Booksellers Association and HighBridge Company are pleased to present MOTHERHOOD: A RADIO COLLECTION, an audio CD from Garrison Keillor and the cast of A Prairie Home Companion.  Skits, songs, and stories from Garrison and company cover the gamut of all that goes into and comes out of motherhood. We are promoting this audio CD as a MIDWEST CONNECTIONS PICK starting in April and in time for Mother’s Day.

Motherhood is a popular topic on A Prairie Home Companion, and not just on Mother’s Day. It’s about time someone gathered the best bits into an homage to Mom. This funny, affectionate, poignant collection honors the woman who gave up her own sense of self-worth for a life of mindless drudgery, day in and day out, “all for you.”

Collected from live radio broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion, these rib-tickling and heartwarming stories and songs celebrate the ups and downs of motherhood. Includes The News from Lake Wobegon, and guest appearances from Robin & Linda Williams, Inga Swearingen, Vern Sutton, Prudence Johnson, The Rankin Family, and more.
