This is a must read for anyone searching for a connection that it WAS real...Daughters of alcoholic mothers may feel isolated in their childhood experiences due to the family secrecy. I'm thankful this book found me as I begin to remember the pain of my mother's death, and the struggle of her life. Thank you-

I really enjoyed hearing other stories of daughters of alcoholic mothers. It aided in my therapy because it helped me remember events that I was having a hard time remembering. I found that my situation was much like others. Therefore, I didn't feel so alone. I highly recommend this book.

This wonderful book was written for those of us who have been held hostage by our alcoholic mothers for far too long. Eleanor Agnew and Sharon Robideaux have given me a gift. They have helped me to come to terms with the misplaced guilt I have felt for most of my life. Their stories and those of the women they interviewed for this book have an amazingly recurrent theme. I never knew that there were so many women out there like me. Adult daughters of alcoholic mothers carry an incredible burden which affects every aspect of their lives. Agnew and Robideaux have done an excellent job of organizing their book into a guide for understanding what has happened in our wacky lives and how we can move on to sanity. The women who shared their stories,including the authors,have done a great service to all of us daughters of alcoholic mothers by letting us know that we are not alone....... Thank you Eleanor Agnew and Sharon Robideaux,from the bottom of my he! art,thank you.
