Mothers & Daughters: Secrets, Healing and the Courage to Be Free

The mother/daughter relationship is sacred, mysterious, loaded and coded with generational patterns and mutual expectations that can celebrate or eviscerate the authentic SELF. As their daughters’ first feminine encounter, mothers set the tone for their girls’ perception of themselves, their navigation of trauma, patriarchy, societal standards, how (and whether) they heal and the quality of their lives.

With a robust collection of eclectic poetry, soulful essays and thought-provoking insights, Michelle Hollinger has assembled a courageous, creative and often challenging exploration into the mother/daughter framework. It lifts the veil on forbidden conversations and secrets that perpetuate pain, lack and silent struggles.

If you’re brave enough to acknowledge that your well-meaning mother unwittingly (or wittingly) taught you to dim your light, (or you’re that mother), you owe it to yourselves to discover and liberate the “lost” parts of yourself because you both deserve to heal and you both deserve to be free.
