My Daughter, Myself: An Unexpected Journey

A riveting memoir about the passions and perplexities of the mother-daughter bond

In My Daughter, Myself, acclaimed journalist Linda Wolfe chronicles her thirty-eight-year-old daughter’s near-fatal stroke, the arduous course of physical and mental rehabilitation that led to the young woman’s remarkable recovery, and the profound ways in which that journey from morbidity to health tested and changed every member of their blended family. Heart-stopping and highly personal, Wolfe’s memoir is an inspiring account of how a mother, suddenly confronted by every mother’s worst nightmare, must master the unfamiliar language of hospitals and illness, discover untapped wells of resilience within both her daughter and herself, and ultimately learn to let her daughter be her guide as they embark on an altogether new chapter in their lives.
