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

emotional fast-paced

3.75

15 essays about the relationship between mother and child. After reading some excerpts online, I was hoping for some advice in this book. While there were some relatable passages, most essays feel like authors getting something off their chest. Over half of the stories deal with very heavy topics (ranging from emotional abuse to rape) and it was sometimes challenging to read. Some of the essays were written better than others.
