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.

I was afraid that if i called her, she would talk and it would be too hard for me to love her after that.

I got about halfway through but found that none of the essays really resonated so I couldn’t get into it.

This is a heavy read. As with any anthology or collection of essays with multiple authors, some things are going to resonate and others are not. I think there is genuinely something for everyone here, whether your relationship with your mother is good or great or toxic or non-existent. A lot of tough topics are handled very eloquently and it may be tough to get through at times but it’s a worthy read. I’d recommend this to most people, I think you’ll find something that sticks with you for a long time to come. I know I did.

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.
