I Am My Mother's Daughter

Viac o knihe

When Dara Kurtz was twenty-eight years old, her mother died of cancer. Dara entered a long period of intractable grief, while she was nevertheless also blessed with a warm family life and a successful career. Then, at the age of forty-two, she was herself diagnosed with cancer. An important part of Dara's recovery was renewing contact with the strong Jewish women who had loved and raised her by rereading their letters to her. These letters caused her to reflect on the love between mothers and daughters and how wisdom and traditions can be passed on from one generation to the next. In this memoir and self-help book, Dara shares funny, inspirational stories of family life, as well as tips and information to help others strengthen their relationships and find joy every day. --Adapted from book jacket flap
