Motherless Daughters by Hope Edelman


I'm not sure if I'm going to actually re-read this today or not but I wanted to include it to mark the fact that today is my mother's birthday. She was born on February 20, 1948 and would have been 57 today.
She died in April 1990 at 42, when I was 16. I feel very close to the author of this book because although she is older than me, her mother also died when Hope was 16.

I'm in a Motherless Daughters meetup group which is meeting today, coincidentally. I'm thinking of bringing a picture of my mom for the group, as I have been talking about that for awhile.
