Books like Two-way mother by Kathy Andrews

Two-Parent Family: When a baby needs a mom, a woman needs a man. A romance with a baby on the way.

A timely collection of essays by Rebecca Solnit that examines gender, feminism, misogyny, and the cultural treatment of women with sharp insight and humor.

A young girl spends time in a foster home while her mother recovers from illness, exploring the bonds between mother and daughter.

Ask any woman whose mother has died and she will tell you that she is irrevocably altered, as profoundly changed by her mother's death as she was by her mother's life. And although a mother's mortality is as inevitable as nightfall, no other book has addressed the lasting effects of this incalculable loss. First published more than a decade ago and now available in this updated edition, Motherless Daughters is still the book that women of all ages look to for understanding and comfort when their mothers die, and it is the book that they continue to press into each other's hands. Building on interviews with hundreds of mother-loss survivors, this life-affirming book is newly expanded to reflect the author's personal experience with the continued legacy of mother loss. Now married and a mother of young children herself, Hope Edelman better understands how the effects of mother loss change over time and in light of new relationships. This groundbreaking book interweaves the author's own story with those of hundreds of women across the U.S. Their words express how growing up without a mother continues to affect their relationships with others and themselves.
