What is mother love?

• The thrill of that first smile
• The reserves of strength you never knew you had
• The touch of a baby's hand as it curls around your finger
• The pride at that first school concert

In this tribute, mothers of all ages - from the not-so-famous to celebrities such as Deborah-lee Furness, Chris Batch and Sophie Lee - describe their thoughs, feelings and experiences of motherhood and of a love that is at once mysterious and practical, exhausting and revitalising, terrifying and exhilarating.
