Description

Kathryn Harrison's memoir, THE KISS, was about her relationship with her father. Now she writes about her equally tormenting mother. When the life of Harrison's young son is threatened by a serious bout of asthma--an event that coincides with the weaning of her last child from breast-feeding--Harrison has an extreme reaction: she reverts to the anorexia she suffered when, years before, her own mother abandoned her. Her interactions with her own children, and her insights into a mother whose insistence on perfection led to disaster, combine in a narrative of not only motherhood but growing up, and an exploration of the necessity for forgiveness.
