Book Synopsis Letters Between Mothers and Daughters by : Barbara Caine
Download or read book Letters Between Mothers and Daughters written by Barbara Caine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are now many studies of family letters in Europe, but most of them focus on marital letters and letters between parents, especially mothers, and their sons. Little attention has been paid to the letters to and from daughters. This volume seeks to begin filling that gap by exploring the continuities and changes evident in the letters written between mothers and daughters over several centuries. Some of these changes reflect the history of letters and the ways that they were written and delivered, especially the move from the use of scribes and couriers in the medieval and early modern period, which made both the writing and reading of letters a public affair, to the use of pens and the situation in which letters were able to be written in private and read only by the person to whom they were addressed. But the letters also reveal the changing nature of the mother and daughter relationship, as the formal and more distant ties evident in the early period, in which dynastic and other matters were often more important to a mother than her daughter’s personal happiness, were replaced by closer and more intimate ties and a concern with particular personalities and individual needs. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s History Review.

And she is still mourning another loss: her mother, Iris, died just one year ago. When a box of Iris's belongings arrives on Sam's doorstep, she discovers links to pieces of her family history but is puzzled by much of the information the box contains. She learns that her grandmother Violet left New York City as an eleven-year-old girl, traveling by herself to the Midwest in search of a better life. But what was Violet's real reason for leaving? And how could she have made that trip alone at such a tender age? In confronting secrets from her family's past, Sam comes to terms with deep secrets from her own. Moving back and forth in time between the stories of Sam, Violet, and Iris, Mothers and Daughters is the spellbinding tale of three remarkable women connected across a century by the complex wonder of motherhood. This book was later published under the title Mercy Train.

Throughout the journey of raising her daughter, Charnell has realized that there will come a time when she will no longer be here physically with her daughter. In the world we live in today, there are so many young mothers being taken away from their children due to illnesses or sudden tragic events. Reading or hearing about these sad stories brought so much pain and fear that Charnell wanted to prepare for all of the possibilities that could occur. Therefore, Charnell decided to write short letters to her daughter. Her daughter will have access to these letters anytime as they will serve as a constant reminder of Mommys love. But while Charnell is still here, she hopes to teach her daughter as much as she knows and to love her as much as she can. In these letters, you will find love, guidance, and peace! May you pass these letters on to your children or even create your very own!
