“You will devour these beautifully written—and very important—tales of honesty, pain, and resilience” (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and City of Girls) from fifteen brilliant writers who explore how what we don’t talk about with our mothers affects us, for better or for worse.As an undergraduate, Michele Filgate started writing an essay about being abused by her stepfather. It took her more than a decade to realize that she was actually trying to write about how this affected her relationship with her mother. When it was finally published, the essay went viral, shared on social media by Anne Lamott, Rebecca Solnit, and many others. This gave Filgate an idea, and the resulting anthology offers a candid look at our relationships with our mothers. Leslie Jamison writes about trying to discover who her seemingly perfect mother was before ever becoming a mom. In Cathi Hanauer’s hilarious piece, she finally gets a chance to have a conversation with her mother that isn’t interrupted by her domineering (but lovable) father. André Aciman writes about what it was like to have a deaf mother. Melissa Febos uses mythology as a lens to look at her close-knit relationship with her psychotherapist mother. And Julianna Baggott talks about having a mom who tells her everything. As Filgate writes, “Our mothers are our first homes, and that’s why we’re always trying to return to them.” There’s relief in acknowledging how what we couldn’t say for so long is a way to heal our relationships with others and, perhaps most important, with ourselves. Contributions by Cathi Hanauer, Melissa Febos, Alexander Chee, Dylan Landis, Bernice L. McFadden, Julianna Baggott, Lynn Steger Strong, Kiese Laymon, Carmen Maria Machado, André Aciman, Sari Botton, Nayomi Munaweera, Brandon Taylor, and Leslie Jamison.

I thought my mother and I had a basically good relationship, although there were many things about my life that I did not tell her, partly because I knew she would not understand and partly because I did not want to hear her criticism. However, reading the variety of relationships between these women and men and their mothers stirred up memories of corporal punishment when I was young, arguments when I was a teenager, and grudges held by my mother - totally unknown to me - until she finally revealed some of them, thirty years after the fact. The truth is, no matter how loving your relationship is with a parent (or pretty much anyone else, for that matter), there are going to be points of disagreement. And, as witnessed by many of these authors, you can't always make things better because both parties have to be willing to change, willing to listen to the other person, willing to find a way to mend the brokenness between them.I highly recommend this book but I will warn you - be aware that it will probably affect you in ways that surprise you greatly. Memories long forgotten may come flooding back, and not just memories of your relationship with your mother; you will be reminded of the entire family dynamic. Under the influence of these stories, I very nearly made the mistake of contacting a family member who is toxic. Fortunately I know myself well enough not to send messages in the wee hours of the morning, when I am at my weakest. Thank goodness I waited until the next day. My relief that I had not sent that message was overwhelming.So if you plan to read this, gird yourself for an emotional rollercoaster ride. And don't send any emails or texts at 3 a.m. Just trust me on that.
