Book Description
'Honest, funny, heartfelt ... I loved it' Cathy Kelly Clear-eyed, touching, forthright and funny, In My Mother's Shoes is Alison Walsh's delightful account of three generations of mothers - her Nana, leading light of the Irish Countrywomen's Association, indomitable in all things except deferring to her husband; her mother, whose glamorous career as a 1960s air hostess was cut cruelly short by the simple act of getting married; and Alison herself, a modern woman whose life would not be thwarted by such lack of choice. Or would it? 'Cheerful, intelligent, funny and shockingly sensible ... Buy it. Read it. Pass it on.' Judith O'Reilly, author of Wife in the North 'Honest and immensely readable ... many mothers will find themselves nodding along in recognition. I will be passing it on and - more tellingly - looking for it back' Sunday Business Post 'Yay for Alison Walsh! ... An adroit, and honest, account of having babies (in the UK and Ireland), of bringing up babies (ditto), of being a Celtic Tiger mum, working all the hours God sends, to being a-stay-at-home mum, plus all the messy compromises in between' Sunday Independent

In My Mother's Shoes
Author: Cynthia Carlisle Fields
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780595438129
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
What an awesome journey to walk in another's shoes! It's a journey not for the faint of heart, especially if they are the shoes of a beloved mother. That walk is a rare opportunity to experience the life, if only for a brief moment, of someone who endured so much so that we could stand on firm ground enjoying what her hard work and sacrifice provided. Shoes are a symbol of a legacy of strength and faith in the face of uncertainty. As you slide your feet into the shoes of another, allow yourself to feel the leather rubbing against your soles, your toes and feel the comfort that only wear can bring. Each trial and tribulation, each victory and joy eases the tension in the leather and makes each step a little easier. As I stepped into my mother's shoes for this journey, I knew beyond any doubt that I owed her a debt I could never repay. The cost beyond my budget, yet, I am here today standing in the place she made because she dared put these same shoes on and broke them in for me and for whomever would wear them after I am gone.

My Mother Next Door
Author: Diane Danvers Simmons
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781646635078
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
It's hardly newsworthy when a man walks out on his family. But it's rather unusual for a mother to walk out, leaving the father to bring up their sixteen-year-old daughter-and downright scandalous for said Irish Catholic mother to move into the house next door to start a new life with a bunch of hot male students at the age of sixty. No one can accuse Diane Danvers Simmons of telling a familiar story. Instead she offers a wickedly witty, candid, irreverent, British coming-of-age story with a fresh take on maternal abandonment. In My Mother Next Door she shares the life lessons learned growing up in the revolutionary 1970s while her narcissistic mother charted her own unfathomable course to independence and freedom. After living in America for decades and becoming a mother herself, Diane journeys back through the madness of her early years, coming to terms with a comical, painful family history, but also celebrating the strength and humor it has given her to face the absurdity of life. In trying to understand what drove her mother to become the woman next door, Diane discovers new respect, love, and even forgiveness: the root of our humanity.

The Girl in the Red Boots
Author: Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1647420415
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Can a mother be both loving and selfish? Caring and thoughtless? Deceitful and devoted? These are the questions that fuel psychologist Dr. Judy Rabinor’s quest to understand her ambivalence toward her mother. While leading a seminar exploring the importance of the mother-daughter relationship, Dr. Judy Rabinor, an eating disorder expert, is blindsided by a memory of a childhood trauma. Realizing how this buried trauma has resonated through her life, she sets off to heal herself. The Girl in the Red Boots weaves together tales from Rabinor’s psychotherapy practice and her life, helping readers understand how painful childhood experiences can linger and leave emotional scars. In the process, Rabinor traces her own journey becoming a wounded healer and ultimately making peace with her mother, and herself. Not a traditional self-help book outlining “steps” to reconcile or forgive one’s mother, The Girl in the Red Boots is a poignant memoir filled with hard-won life lessons, including the fact that it’s never too late to let go of hurts and disappointments and develop compassion for yourself—and even for your mother.
