Dear Daughter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990761209)

Inspired by real women, Samantha Mineroff shares an inside look at what mothers and daughters go through with this moving chapbook of epistolary poetry. Examine how women relate to one another by exploring the stories that make you think about your life: from grief and societal pressure to acceptance and empowerment.

Each section-"Apologies," "Warmth," and Encouragement"-is written with a particular message in mind, making it a guidebook of sorts from which readers can pick and choose the themes that work for them at any particular moment.

Dive into self-exploration with the women in your own life and remind yourself of the complexity and fragility of the mother-daughter relationship. Generational trauma can manifest itself in various ways, but Mineroff's poetry encourages you to take the time to process and unpack your own experiences. Every poem invites you to reflect on the people that help shape you as you think about both where you came from and where you'll go.
