Growing Up: A Collection:The Poems, Stories, and Essays of Mary Eileen Hoban Towse

I think that my mother was born with a love for the written word. She expressed herself in the poetry, stories, and essays she wrote, and even in the lyrics of the hymns and operas she sang. My brother Matt, my sister Mary, and I have compiled all that we could find in this "Collection" to share with you, the Reader.

The extent of the tenderness of our mother's love for her children is overwhelming in her writing, especially in those poems entitled "Growing Up."
