Description: "Sparked by the burgeoning consciousness of young motherhood, Nora Seton illuminates the lives of five women, giving language to their ambition, resignation, self-preservation, and loss. She reaches back through the years to recapture the memory of her brilliant mother, the novelist Cynthia Seton, whose death from cancer inspires her search to articulate the magic of womanhood.".

"The Kitchen Congregation is told in tales from the kitchen. After all, it is in the kitchen, where after years of broken traditions and new opportunities, mothers still relate to their children, women reflect among friends, and the family is nourished."--BOOK JACKET.
