Product Description:
When Hope Edelman, author of the New York Times bestseller Motherless Daughters, became a parent, she found herself revisiting the loss of her mother in ways she had never anticipated. Now the mother of two young girls, Edelman set out to learn how the loss of a mother to death or abandonment can affect the ways women raise their own children.
In Motherless Mothers, Edelman uses her own story as a prism to reveal the unique anxieties and desires that these women experience as they raise their children without the help of a living maternal guide. In an impeccably researched, luminously written book enriched by the voices of the mothers themselves—and filled with practical insight and advice from experienced professionals—she examines their parenting choices, their triumphs, and their fears, and offers motherless mothers the guidance and support they want and need.

A year and 9 months ago I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, and I started my most difficult and most sad year of my life.

I've read many books on the loss of a parent (particularly a mother) and none of them touched me like "Motherless Mothers" did.

The result is a book that helps women who lost their mother (at different ages, for different reasons) to understand what they feel, realise that it's ... Read More

Hope puts mothering into perspective whether you're a motherless mother or not. She's intelligent, insightful and incredibly honest. Using stories from her own life and research based on interviews she's done with other mothers, she leads the reader through what it's like to navigate the ups and downs of parenting without a "mother" ...

Hope Edelman's book is a powerful read. She puts just the right amount of her personal experience into the book and at the same time guides the reader through the journey of what it means to be a motherless mother. Her beautifully written book caught me off guard, moved me to tears, and most of all made me thankful to be the mother that I am.

Hope Edelman has become the go to person for all women having mothering issues. She gives us insight, hope and information, sharing her experiences with us. This is a ... Read More
