Still Here Thinking of You: A Second Chance with Our Mothers
New Rochelle, NY, May 09, 2013 --(PR.com)-- transFORM Gallery presents a book reading and discussion, Still Here Thinking of You: A Second Chance with Our Mothers, on June 20th from 6 - 8 pm. In conjunction with the book reading, “Moments of Being,” a photographic slideshow of mothers and daughters, will be on display at transFORM Gallery. They invite all to participate in the collection by sending your favorite photograph of you and your mother, daughter, grandmother, great grandmother, or combination thereof, to stillherethinkingofyou@gmail.com. Please submit JPEG images only.
Reflecting on their formative years and beyond, authors Vicki Addesso, Susan Hodara, Joan Potter, and Lori Toppel grapple with the circumstances that shaped their mothers’ lives, thus deepening their understanding of their relationships with their mothers and the love they shared. The book ultimately inspires women to reexamine the relationships they have or had with their mothers – and those they have with their daughters – and view them in a different and more accepting light.
