Letters from Motherless Daughters - by Hope Edelman (Paperback)

About the Book

The completely revised and updated edition of the companion volume to the "New York Times" bestseller, "Motherless Daughters"--a collection of letters from the "unsought sorority" sharing their experiences and hard-won wisdom.

Book Synopsis

Letters from Motherless Daughters is a compilation of the letters Hope Edelman received in response to her groundbreaking New York Times-bestseller, Motherless Daughters. Reaffirming her precious link with motherless women across the country, Edelman presents these moving, honest, and often hopeful letters alongside her own insight to offer readers the opportunity to further learn from loss. The words of these brave women illustrate the profound pain, astounding strength, and undying perseverance of living through the loss of one's mother without ever outliving the need for her. Edelman has added a new introduction and new letters, tailoring this important book to a new generation.
