: Showing how wounded daughters can become healing mothers, this groundbreaking, profoundly inspiring book on motherhood is "achingly poignant" (Abigail Thomas, "O The Oprah Magazine").Kathryn Black lost her mother to polio as young girl and, when deciding whether or not to become a mother herself, sought evidence that women don't necessarily need to have had a good mother to be one. Her book offers comfort, wisdom, and guidance to women who, whatever their childhood experience, wish to enjoy for themselves the powerful experience that motherhood can be and most important, give their children the rich mother love they deserve. Kathryn Black has been a journalist for twenty years and is the author of In the Shadow of Polio.
