Mama Never Cried is the extraordinary story of an ordinary woman; a Mama who simply did what Mamas do. When her world and her dream laid in ruins, pulled down by one she loved, and she stood as the only barrier between her five young boys and an uncertain future, she put aside concerns for her self and became their rock. When the abyss of despair beckoned, she offered them the lifeline of hope. When their hearts might have grown bitter with thoughts of hate and anger and vengeance, she taught them the solace of forgiveness, and when the road ahead laid hidden by clouds of doubt and dread, she whispered “Come with me” and promised that somewhere behind the mists there was a rainbow.
In the hallway, during a break in trial, the famed defense attorney spoke to the Postal Inspector. "You're a helluva investigator." And the Inspector said, "What do you mean?" "That interview you did with Frank," the lawyer said. Recalling the hours he had spent questioning the attorney's client, the Inspector asked, "What did I leave out?" As he turned to enter the courtroom, to stand beside his client and face the judge, the lawyer sighed, "Absolutely nothing!" In Moments in Time, Bill Phinazee and Larry Weaver tell what it's like to be a United States Postal Inspector. Some of their stories are uncomplicated, some are complex, and others are amusing, poignant or chilling. All are entertaining. They tell why a Postal Inspector is respected by his or her peers, feared by law breakers, and known by both as a "helluva investigator" whose investigations leave out absolutely nothing.

But it is also a story of bravery and strength and determination and endurance and of the love that helped to light her lonely way.
