Library Journal Book Review
In this feminist memoir, Straub, a writer and teacher of empowerment principles, memorializes her mother’s unfulfilled life. Soon after she grew up, went into the world, and began teaching, her mother died a premature death from heart disease. At one point, Straub, overworked and burned out, realized she had given up her “feminine” life—one of contemplation and intuition—for a masculine one of overachievement and workaholism. As she untangles these threads, she processes her grief over her mother’s death. For those interested in women’s issues and spirituality.
