Dwight G. Stackhouse Delivers a Riveting Story of a Minister Devastated
and Crippled by his Mother’s Death
A young man’s misguided attempt to avenge his mother’s death immerses him in
a life of corruption and takes him on a most unimaginable journey
DETROIT, Mich. – (August 5, 2013) – Where lies the strength of the bond between a mother and child? The story of Jesse Brightmeyer will captivate readers with a remarkable saga that attempts to explore this mystery. Jesse’s attachment to his mother, his love for her, and the impenetrable grief that befell him after her passing is the foundation for the novel entitled, Mother’s Milk. It is the journey, however, of this fallen son that will most likely unleash emotions and leave the reader spell-bound. This lost son attempts to avenge her death, but instead discovers a world for which he is totally unprepared, and is swept away from his senses, until a most unlikely redeemer finds a way to him. From the confines of the great beyond, the yet-to-be fully explored powers of a Mother’s Milk reach for him and nothing short of maternal love guides him back. This novel, based on a true story, demonstrates the healing power of love and suggests that “the bond between mother and child may be much deeper than anyone thought."
Mother’s
Milk is a provocative novel written by first-time author Dwight G. Stackhouse. It is the story of Jesse Brightmeyer, a young minister who is broken by the death of his mother, Madelyn, and unable to process it. His family ties, and upbringing were almost idyllic. Yet at the moment of her passing, he loses his faith in God and all sense of his former self. His imminent demise is halted by nothing less than the power of a mother’s love.
Weaving in and out of past and present moments the narrator’s overview is enhanced by revelatory dialog, and the reader is taken on a spectacular and most unpredictable voyage. Stackhouse masterfully delivers dialog in lyrical tones while using this metaphorical title to demonstrate the love, the lessons learned, the pain shared, and the incredible bond between a mother and child. He brilliantly paints redemption in brushstrokes that leave the reader drenched in emotions and riveted in reflection. You will not want to miss the heart-warming conclusion!
Early
Reviews : of Mother’s Milk describe it this way: “it hits the standard for a haute literary work that surpasses the norm with a
tapestry of evocative emotions, vivid memories and stark realism”; “it’s a wonderful heartfelt slice of Americana”; “leaves me curious, introspective, and in the end, wiser for the experience.” Avid readers and book club reviews describe it as “the best thing I’ve seen on the market today,” “written like a song,” “compelling!- can’t wait for the movie,” and “absolutely brilliant!”
The terrible sadness, the insurmountable feeling of helplessness… and the finality of death, will ring familiar to all persons who have grieved. But the behavior; the behavior and response to the loss of his mother by this ‘prodigal son’ will likely surprise, disappoint, enrage, and bewilder everyone.

About the
Author : Native Detroiter, Dwight G. Stackhouse, affectionately known as “Skip” to friends and family, is a writer whose vision involves people and embraces diversity in all aspects of life. He began his artistic career in 1977 performing on stage as an actor, in Grand Rapids, MI. He continued performances in Detroit, Boston, New York and France to stellar reviews. Although he no longer has a passion for the stage, he has shown a similar aplomb with the pen. As a protégé of the late and legendary writer, James Baldwin, having spent three years under his tutelage, he has recently completed his first novel. “There is no way to deny the guiding influence of the great James Baldwin,” Mr. Stackhouse says, “or his model for the telling of insightful truths.” He is the subject of one of James Baldwin’s poems, “Song for Skip” published in his literary collection called “Jimmy’s Blues”. Stackhouse is a writer of poetry, plays, songs, essays and short stories. Being a 65 year old writer and having shared his work with many readers, he considers himself arriving late in the game. His newest project involves a registration of romantic poetry called “Forever My Heart…Desires”, due out in the fall 2013; a collection described as “profoundly beautiful.”
