Journeys to Mother Love ― Nine Women Tell Their Stories of Forgiveness & Healing

Nine women, who represent four generations and many parts of the country, tell their personal stories with vivid and heart-wrenching honesty. Hurts and conflicts in their relationships with their mothers left them wounded and affected their own mothering. Each woman tells how, with God's help, she experienced healing of the inner wounds and found the freedom to truly love. Despite challenges caused by inadequate mothering, favoritism, mental illness and disease, neglect, generational sins, and disappointments, these personal memoirs offer hope. There is inspiration here for any woman who has experienced broken places in her relationships with mother or child.
