Guacamole Conversations: Mother Daughter Reflections Across Time and Place (Electronic book text)

Connections between a mother and a daughter are tied with deep intimacy and familiarity-unspoken but not unrealized, reflected in the private observations women share with themselves throughout their lives, understandings expressed through everyday interaction. Guacamole Conversations invites the reader into the lives of one mother and daughter. Their conversation is disconnected, woven across time and place; a mother's reflections on her daily walks along the beach on the Texas Gulf Coast, the daughter's memories after her mother's death as she was missing her. Together their voices give life to the substance of rapport between a mother and a daughter-the influences, the appreciation, the regret, the humor, the boundaries crossed and uncrossed with those we love. Guacamole Conversations is written to be shared by mothers and daughters, inspiring them to continue the conversation exploring their own lives and intimate connections as women.
