Krátky popis
From bestselling children’s author Marianne Richmond comes a
powerful memoir about overcoming a mother’s emotional neglect and
finding the courage to reclaim the story of your life. “In her
beautiful memoir, Richmond bravely finds her way through a legacy
of emotional trauma, pulling us into her courageous, tender heart
while bringing us closer to our own…a stunning story.” -- Kelly
McDaniel, LPC, author of Mother HungerAt nine years old, Marianne
Richmond’s life is upended when she collapses on her kitchen floor
with full-body convulsions. “Pinched nerve,” says the ER doctor, a
baffling explanation.But when one episode becomes many, it’s clear
something is wrong. Afraid to be at school, in her body and in her
life, Marianne desperately hopes for help and healing. But her
emotionally unavailable mother — still reeling from her own past
trauma— refuses medication on Marianne's behalf, preferring to try
prayer and homeopathy.At age 18, a full-body seizure in Marianne’s
dorm room leads her to a diagnosis, medication, and—at long
last—neurological intervention. Physically, Marianne feels “fixed,”
but emotional healing proves more elusive. In the years to come,
Marianne becomes a parent herself, and writes a new story for her
life.She authors children’s books that touch millions of lives,
each of them celebrating a mother’s unconditional love for her
children. A love her own heart still longs to know. When her mother
becomes ill, Marianne has a choice to make: will she be present for
the mother who rarely felt present to her?If You Were My Daughter
is a story of learning to hear your own voice, of one daughter’s
return to wholeness, and ultimately, a story of accepting that,
despite all hope and longing, a mother’s “best I could” can still
fall far too short.Most of all, Marianne Richmond illuminates how
the stories we’re born into shape the ones we tell about
ourselves—and reminds us that we have the powerful permission to
develop a new relationship with what is difficult in our lives, to
fully choose and embody who we are meant to be.
