New York Times contributor Katie Hafner explores the complex, deeply binding relationship between mothers and daughters in "Mother Daughter Me", a memoir of the year she and her mother, Helen, spent working through, and triumphing over, a lifetime of unresolved emotions. Filled with fairy-tale hope that she and her 77-year-old mother would become friends, and that Helen would become close to Hafner’s teenage daughter, Zoë, Hafner embarked on an experiment in intergenerational living filled with emotional landmines and painful memories. By illuminating how three women from such different generations learned to navigate their challenging, turbulent, and ultimately healing journey together, Hafner answers questions about the universal truths of family.
