Book Synopsis

Marilyn McVicker's fifth book, I Still Sing Your Lullabies: a mother's love & loss, is a hybrid manuscript containing 61 poems and 4 prose pieces, in 116 pages.

• It is a story of a mother's love of her children, and the story of a mother who lost custody because of unfair legal challenges.
• This is the story of mothers who were legally targeted, who lost their children, their families, alimony, jobs, and health.
• This is a story of women denied basic legal rights to their children.
• This is a story of children who grew up without their mothers, children left with a father who wanted control and economic gain, and not the daily tasks associated with parenting his children.
• This is a story of grief, loss, and pain, as well as a story of sharing and caring, and the redemptive power of love.
• These poems and prose pieces present marginalized voices which offer the emotional, practical, political and economic context of women losing custody of their children.
