- Summary
- "A riveting, provocative, and ultimately hopeful exploration of mother-daughter estrangement, woven with research and anecdotes, from an award-winning journalist"--
- For years Brown and her mother had gone through cycles of estrangement and connection, drastic blow-ups and equally dramatic reconciliations. Her mother's death at seventy-six-- after they hadn't spoken at all in several years-- sent Brown on a journey of exploration, guilt and trauma, rage and betrayal, and forgiveness. She also shares interviews with others who are estranged, as well as the most recent research on this topic. -- adapted from jacket
