Hidden Legacy

Does thinking of mother make you wince or win you over?

Gather your thoughts about mother into memories and memoir into truth.

Discover the hidden legacies of daughter-mother wisdom.

Mothers are hiding in plain sight. Often overlooked by our culture in its fascination with female sexuality and celebrity, real life mothers have faded into the background, wallflowers to the prom queen. Because society expects “perfect” mothers to keep their problems to themselves and protect the family, the authentic voice of the mother is frequently silenced.

Yet it is clear that mothers provide the critical role model for their daughters, influencing them even before birth. How a mother thinks of herself, her needs, her social role, is a blueprint for her daughter. Knowing the extent of her mother’s influence and how to define it can be pivotal in any woman’s life.

Our mission in compiling daughter-mother memoirs is to examine this intimate and powerful relationship. In gathering these true tales, we document the ongoing tradition of women’s truths across the generations. We will mine the hidden legacy of our mothers through factual, well-crafted stories.
