Understanding our lives May 22, 2005
By Nanette
"Mothers who cry in the night" is a phenomenal read. It starts as a journal, looking for answers to the confusing enigma that is her child. As the answers make themselves known, so does the free spirit that is Bennett. We, the readers, take a swirling ride that is not only in the life of Betsie the adoring, saddened mother but also that of Bennett, a life-force uncomfortable in these earthly surroundings, searching for his own reality, his propose. It not only helped me to have a better understanding of the correlation between genius and addiction (self medicating), but also to better understand my own purpose in this life and what will come after. We are all the same journey and it has no conclusion, only growth.

A must read for parents with challenging children Apr 19, 2005
By Dr. Karen Cosgrove
Mothers Who Cry in the Night by Rev. Dr. Betsie Poinsett is a must read for anyone who has felt the frustration of caring for an unhappy child. The book takes the reader on the journey of life with a child who doesn't fit in, can not find happiness and causes much worry and frustration for himself and his parents. It is a beautiful story of love that eventually transcends the
physical and emotional pain to find a place of peace and understanding. Dr. Poinsett easily relates her heart felt feelings and shares the turmoil of raising a child that seems to be of a different world. I recommend Mothers Who Cry in the Night to all mothers or anyone who loves children.

More comfort than the time before Oct 30, 2007
By J. Morris
I am reading MOTHERS WHO CRY IN THE NIGHT for the third time. Each time I read it, I find more comfort than the time before. Betsie Poinsett puts my feelings into words as I am never able to do. The legacy left by her son Bennett is inspiring. His poems are invigorating. I have recommended the book to many of my friends and family members.

Extraordinary son, extraordinary mother, a tale of unconditional love. Jan 09, 2006
By Holly C. Crabb
"Holly Camille"
The true story of the relationship between mother and son is told throughout this book, along with many helpful and insightful tools in spirituality. The heart of the book is a deep, unconditional love, which the reader can feel and learn from. The lessons of letting go, finding inner strength, and finding balance in any dynamic relationship are some of the core things I enjoyed in the book. Bennett's poetry and some of his essence is also captured in the extraordinary tale that he left for so many to learn and heal from. A wonderful, healing, magical book.
