Motherless Daughters by Hope Edelman

An instant bestseller in both hardcover and paperback, Hope Edelman's Motherless Daughters explores the myriad ways that losing a mother can affect almost every aspect and passage of a woman's life. First published a decade ago, it is still the book that motherless daughters of all ages look to for understanding and comfort and that they press into each other's hands. Building on interviews with hundreds of mother- loss survivors, this life-affirming book is now newly expanded to reflect the author's personal experience with the continued legacy of mother loss; now married and a mother of young children herself, Edelman better understands how the effects of mother loss change over time and in light of new relationships. A work of stunning courage and honesty, Motherless Daughters is a must read for the millions of women whose mothers have gone, but whose need for healing, mourning, and mothering remains. It is a timeless classic.

Hope Edelman is the author of five nonfiction books, including Motherless Daughters and Motherless Mothers, which were both bestsellers. She is a graduate of the University of Iowa's Nonfiction Writing Department, and her work has appeared in a variety of periodicals and anthologies. With her husband and two daughters, she lives in Topanga, California.
