Synopses & Reviews
When writer Carol Saline and photojournalist Sharon J. Wohlmuth first teamed up in 1994, they touched countless women with their poignant exploration of sisterhood. In this enormously successful second volume, they turn their empathy and perception to a territory perhaps even more intimate -- the intense bond shared by mothers and daughters.
The profoundly personal experiences of the women portrayed in these essays and photographs illuminate a relationship that is awe-inspiring in its intensity and depth. Whether the speakers are Cindy Crawford and her mother, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her daughter, or a ninety-six-year-old woman with nine daughters, their stories express universal feelings of tenderness, pride, and a love so fierce that it is sometimes painful. "Mothers And Daughters" is a stunning and evocative tribute to this unbreakable bond.
