Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss by Hope Edelman
3.0
A timeless book that voices the trauma and experiences that motherless women endure. This book is written for women whose mothers have passed during their childhood or adolescence.
I found this book beneficial as someone who has not had the opportunity to share my experiences with a fellow motherless daughter. This book helped me reflect on how being a motherless daughter shaped who I am today and also helped me process through the feelings that I’ve had and continue to experience.
I only recommend reading this book if you have started or are emotionally ready to begin healing. I began reading this book 8 years after my mother passed and I don’t think I would have been ready to read this book before now.
Unfortunately, I agree with other reviews that state that this book is unnecessarily gendered and homophobic.
