Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


Hope Edelman writes of the devastating loss of mothers to younger daughters. I was fortunate to have my mother in my life well into my adult years, but her death has still left me feeling like many of the women Edelman writes about. Interesting book, well written, with many case stories of the impact of a mother's death on young daughters. Worth the read. Hopefully it will help any reader who lost her mother at a young age.

"The loss of a mother is one of the most profound events that will occur in a woman's life, and like a loud sound in an empty house, it echoes on and on."
