Mother Love

Set in Greensboro, North Carolina, Mother Love is the story of three sisters: their shared history, the complex bonds that unite them, and the contradictory relationship that each has with their passionate and difficult mother, who has recently died. Whenever the sisters are together, they tell one another stories about their mother. The stories can be troubling, terrible, or hilarious, but they always bring the sisters closer and reinforce their mother's continuing presence in their lives. Mother Love is a passionate and deeply moving book about womanhood, family feeling, and how we become who we become.
