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.

Some of the essays were hard to read. Some were heart warming. A few were mediocre. Overall, though I found this to be a very cathartic read.

This collection started strong and waned from there. The ones I enjoyed are the only ones I remember (Alexander Chee and Alexander Chee). I wonder if each contributor got to pick the narrator who would read their piece, as I didn't care for a couple of the voices.
