Chapter "Mother Tongue" was WOW. Heartbreaking but also so humbling.

Slowly realizing this really isn’t a book to sit and binge read so I’m going to start reading one essay a day to really appreciate the writing

the story “fifteen” was very tough to read bc of the wording but honestly it was worth it with the twist at the end!

lovin it so far ! it does take a while for me to adjust from one writing style to another very quickly but i kinda like it bc it’s a bit challenging. a lot of these authors have their own memoirs that i want to read now!

Stories get deeper and touch on more sensitive subjects as you continue.

I have related most to "Thesmophoria" so far but all have been very meaningful takes on motherhood and the complicated relationships in families.

it has been one million years but i will finish this book soon i swear............. it's split up into 15 different stories so it's very easy to pick up and put down (maybe TOO EASY)

“There is a gaping hole perhaps for all of us, where our mother does not match up with "mother" as we believe it's meant to mean and all it's meant to give us.” 😵💫😳

um still on page 32….it’s put me in a reading slump. The authors stories are very good, however they aren’t attention grabbing or give me a gut wrenching feeling that I was told they would…

My Mother’s (Gate) Keeper by Cathi Hanauer has been my favorite so far, it’s the most common example I see daily in my family and even my in-laws.
“The mystery of my mother is solved, then, and it’s this: There is no mystery—and in fact, it’s only my desire to make it otherwise that’s kept it from being downright banal.”

Day 2 of reading this book and I sobbed in my moms arms telling her I didn't want to be a daughter.

"No, imagine a structure that has weathered many blows, some more careless than others. The dread I felt did not rise from my thoughts but from my gut, from some corporeal logic that had kept meticulous track of every mistake before this one. That believed there was a finite number of times one could break someone's heart before it hardened to you."

audio book style is the way to do this book! great read, or listen, for anyone who has gone through ups and downs with their own moms. allows for insight into different relationships and perspectives
