(I am not the book club admin, just a fan, and these are not all the books but I will add them all in soon, I promise)

the complicated inheritance of being someone's daughter. maternal wounds, generational trauma, inherited neuroses, impossible expectations, and the many ways love can leave a mark. mothers we love, resent, misunderstand, and spend a lifetime trying to figure out. daughters caught between becoming their mothers, disappointing them, and figuring out who they are without them. // some family issues require a little more than a family group chat.

— suggestions always welcome!
