To say that Harriet and her mother had a difficult relationship is  a wild understatement; the older Harriet grew, the more estranged they  became. By the time Harriet's mom died at age 76, they were out of  contact. Yet Harriet felt her death deeply, embarking on an exploration  of what family estrangement meansamp;mdash;to those who cut off contact, to  those who are estranged, to the friends and family members who are on  the sidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShadow Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e tackles a subject we rarely discuss as a culture:  family estrangements, especially those between parents and adult  children. Estrangementsamp;mdash;between parents and children, siblings,  multiple generationsamp;mdash;are surprisingly common, and even families that  aren't officially estranged often have some experience of deep  conflicts. Estrangement is an issue that touches most people, one way or  another, one that's still shrouded in secrecy, stigma, and shame.  In  addition to her personal narrative, Harriet employs interviews with  others who are estranged, as well as the most recent research on family  estrangement, for a brave exploration of this taboo topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003ci\u003eShadow Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e  is a thoughtful, deeply researched, and provocative exploration of the  ties that bind and break, forgiveness, reconciliation, and what family  really means.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115152818416,"sku":"2940170178902","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170178902_p0.jpg?v=1763703924","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170178902","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
