Editorial Reviews

[W]ith touches of humor, love, edginess, and adversity, this anthology has something for each of us, whether mother, daughter, or both. It takes a special bravery to open yourself to the public gaze, in fiction as well as in fact. I'm grateful to the women of The Milk of Human Kindness who shared their emotions with us.
