    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with a grammar issue.

    I am writing a tagline for a story and think the Grammar is incorrect i.e. It doesn't make sense.

    The line is...

    A love story of Motherhood.

    Is this grammatically wrong ?

    Other options..

    A love story about Motherhood
    A love story with Motherhood
    A Motherhood love story (I don't particularly like this one)
    Motherhood: A love story

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks in Advance.

    I am not sure that it is grammatically incorrect, but it is a bit clumsy. What do you mean by Motherhood, and why does it have a capital M? Are you referring to a specific mother's love for her child, or her love for the concept of motherhood, or are you referring to love in motherhood generally? Your last idea sounds better, but it may not necessarily express what you mean.

    "A love story from motherhood"? Otherwise your last idea is fine.

    Is it about a love story that takes place during someone's pregnancy, or is it about someone falling in love with the concept of being a mother?
