Remembering Our Mothers, Re-Birthing Our Selves (Paperback)

The number of women in their middle years will increase by 50 percent before the year 2000. What are the spiritual struggles these women face, and how do these struggles affect their lives?

Martha Robbins has discovered that women grieve their mother's lives -- their options and choices -- far more than their deaths. What these women in transition long for most are ways to reframe their mothers' lives and strategies to work for changes for themselves and their daughters.

Remembering Our Mothers, Re-Birthing Our Selves is the first mother-daughter book to focus on the spiritual aspects of this transition. Women's voices from interviews, as well as the author's own experiences, speak in a warm, emotionally affecting style -- helping the reader come to a more truthful, richly textured sense of herself as a faith-filled daughter and woman in the present.
