Description
My Mother Was Right focuses on the most fundamental and complicated connection of all-the mother-daughter relationship-to show that it is only after we learn to value, accept, and forgive our mothers that we are able to come to terms with ourselves. This truly inspirational and original book is written in the words of women from all walks of life including a Pulitzer Prize winning author, an Episcopal minister, a federal judge, and a vice-president of General Motors.
