Going to the well : a mother-daughter journey
Nancy Key Roeder (Author)
"How does a daughter get to know and understand her mother? The closest bond of any two women is that of mother-daughter. Yet, this relationship often suffers over time from misunderstandings, anger and resentment. Searching for a way to reconcile past mother-daughter wounds, Nancy Roeder and her mother launched a series of taped interviews that extended over sixteen years. In her mother's voice are vivid recollections of rural life in the early 1900s, of a family saga filled with sadness and shame, poverty and fear-based religion. As her mother recounts the efforts to overcome her past, she offers insights into steps she took toward mental and spiritual health."--P. [4] of cover
