Working mother in desperate need, seeks temporary room and board situation for newborn baby boy. Please call . . . . . In the summer of 1942, Frances Postiglione placed this classified advertisement in the "Personals" section of the Hartford Courant. A troubled woman unable to have children of her own answered the plea and Frances never saw her baby again. 'Love, Your Mother-Like It or Not' is the story of Frances 34 years later, a 62-year-old grandmother, when she opens a letter addressed to her brother, from a young man in California searching for his birth mother. The shame and guilt of losing her son return and the frightened woman responds with letters in an attempt to tell him of the events that had changed both their lives. Four months and fifty-four letters later, the man travels to meet Frances and discovers a family he never knew. This is a story about the ties of family and it also looks at social pressures on women during the 1940s. Frances' story shows the unconditional love a mother has for her child, even when that child has grown to be a man she does not know.
