Perfect in Memory: A Son’s Tribute to His Mother by Rick D. Niece is the third non fiction book in a series by this author. This is a touching tribute, written by a son reflecting on the loving memory of his dear mother. The author writes of his memories with love and affection, detailing his family, the small town he lived in, and the relationships that impacted his youth. It was especially touching as I read about his parents, and the love and respect that they shared for one another. The author clearly doted on his mother, and this book gives the reader a perfect insight into that relationship.

Perfect in Memory also takes you as a reader back to a special time that some of us may still remember; the days without social media and technology, and the simplicity of life as a family where dinner times and communication were important to a relationship and sense of family. The author demonstrates a good sense of humour, and brings the reader in emotionally, leaving me with a lump in my throat in many parts of his story. He writes in a way that draws you in effortlessly, and as I put the book down after the final page, I found myself looking up the earlier two stories of this series. I also loved the formatting of this eBook and the chapter starters - it was original and, for a reader, a perfect touch to add to the quality of this novel. I commend Rick D. Niece for his transparency and passion in this touching memoir, and I recommend anyone who holds their mother close to their heart to read this story, as it truly reminds you to cherish what you have in life.
