Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss by Hope Edelman

4.0

my grandma bought me this book when i was in high school. i was 7 when my mom was murdered and now i’m 27 reading this book for the first time. my mom was 26 when she was killed and i had no idea how much of my identity was based on her and the image my family built of her for me. i took on her mistakes as if they were my own to carry and make right. this book helped me realize that i’m not alone. it also helped me realize that i am allowed my own identity outside of my mother.
