Mother of My Mother The Intricate Bond Between Generations

Explores the 3-generational triangle from which women develop their female identities: the grandmother-mother-granddaughter relationship. Drawing from her own experience & the recollections of more than 70 other granddaughters, Edelman constructs an insightful narrative filled with stories of women who were each other's nurturers, confidantes, nemeses, & day-to-day supporters. At the center stands the maternal grandmother, including Edelman's, the Benevolent Manipulator,Ó whose love for her family is rivaled only by her desire for control. Edelman's complicated & dynamic relationship with her is the consistent thread that runs throughout the book.Edelman, Hope is the author of 'Mother of My Mother The Intricate Bond Between Generations' with ISBN 9780756751036 and ISBN 0756751039.
