Today's Takeaway: Through Reading or Climbing, Mothers Find Ways to ConnectSunday is Mother's Day, but for some incarcerated women, spending time behind bars means missing out on the formative years of their child's or grandchild's life. But a program is trying to change that. Mommy Reads, a ten-week course offered through Sarah Lawrence College to mothers and grandmothers incarcerated at the Valhalla Correctional Facility in Valhalla, New York, helps women write children's stories and then record themselves narrating them. We also talk to a mother who has chronicled her journey with her five-year-old daughter to scale all 48 of New Hampshire's 4,000-foot peaks. Also on Today's Takeaway, a $2 billion loss for JP Morgan Chase, co-creator of the Daily Show Lizz Winstead, and the evolution of opinions on same-sex marriage.
