Description: "Mother-love is vital to every human being. We need it, we thrive on it, and sometimes we resist it. It is the bond at the foundation of every attachment we will ever have. But what happens when our mother connection goes askew or completely disappears? What takes its place? Motherghost: A Journey To The Mother looks directly at the powerful complexity of mother-love through the perspective of a woman who lost her mother as a child. After an astonishing secret about her past is revealed, Robin sets out on a journey of myth and fantasy to find the answers to her identity. As she begins to explore her life and the people in it, she discovers that our mothers live on inside us, and can empower or cripple us in our adult lives-even when they are absent. We laugh and cry with her as she searches for the facts about her early beginnings-facts that only her mother, who abandoned her as a three-year-old, would know. There is one problem: her mother has died; and yet, to heal herself, she must find a way to reconnect with her mother, even if she is only a ghost"--Page 4 of cover.
