Description
When Hope Edelman became a parent, she found herself revisiting the loss of her mother in ways she had never anticipated. Now the mother of two young girls, Edelman set out to learn how the loss of a mother to death or abandonment can affect the ways women raise their own children.
In this thought-provoking book, Edelman uses her own story as a prism to reveal the unique anxieties and desires that motherless mothers experience as they raise their children without the help of a living maternal guide. Drawing on her own experiences and those of other mothers, Edelman examines the parenting choices, triumphs, and fears of motherless mothers, offering practical insight and advice to support them.
With a deep understanding of the complex emotions and challenges involved, Edelman provides guidance and support to motherless mothers, helping them navigate the complexities of parenting without the benefit of a living maternal presence.
