This beautifully crafted edition offers the first, largest, and most complete collection ever of Helen Steiner Rice poems. From her remarkable body of work, this volume includes nearly four hundred original poems--sixteen of them rare and previously uncollected--and one never-before-published prayer discovered in the Helen Steiner Rice Foundation archives. Included are favorites like "The Praying Hands," "Heart Gifts," and "Tribute to John F. Kennedy."...

These heartfelt words from Fred Bauer's memorial tribute to Helen Steiner Rice express so well the feelings of millions of readers whose lives have been touched by the gifted lady from Ohio. Many of the verses in this collection were suggested by Mrs. Rice herself, and some have never appeared in book form before.

A thank-you note for countless kindnesses, for a faith that nurtures and sustains her children.

A sensitive, poetic tribute to a most cherished person--mother--filled with tenderly sentimental verse and a spiritual awareness that honors her special, enduring qualities of warmth, compassion, and devoted love.
