Motherless daughters : the legacy of loss
\"For twenty years, this \"beautifully written\" (USA Today), \"moving, comprehensive and insightful look at the lifelong ramifications of the loss of a mother\" (San Francisco Chronicle) has been the book a woman can turn to for understanding and comfort when her mother dies. Building on interviews with hundreds of motherless daughters, Hope Edelman's unique and courageous work also reflects her personal experience with the continued legacy of mother loss. An exploration of a profoundly life-altering rite-of-passage, Motherless Daughters is for any woman who wants to better understand the mother-daughter relationship. \"-- Provided by publisher.

3 AUTHORS EXPLORE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE LINKS OF JUDAISM
In \"Half-Jew,\" Jacoby, an author and former Washington Post reporter, explores the \"specialness and ambiguity\"of the half-Jewish condition. \"America has allowed Jews unprecedented freedom to be simultaneously outsiders and insiders,\" she explains. \"[T]o be an American half-Jew is to experience this condition twice over.\" In eloquent and illuminating prose, she writes about a family that converted for social advantage and the residual effects of this choice on subsequent generations. This is ground well-trampled in recent memoirs, from Mary Gordon's \"The Shadow Man\" to Stephen Dubner's \"Turbulent Souls.\" But \"Half-Jew\" is distinctive for Jacoby's loving relationship with a father who is at once sympathetic and complicated, and her earnest attempts to understand him.
