What My Mother and I Don't Talk About: Fifteen Writers Break the Silence by Michele Filgate

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This was a great collection of stories compiled by authors that are well written and reflective. Anyone that has a good or bad relationship with their mother should read this. It’s not even about mother - child relationships, but the fragile way families can be. It was a great read and may reread in the future.
