In this extraordinary collection of letters written especially for this volume, more than seventy-five distinguished daughters -- novelists, poets, essayists, cartoonists, journalists -- speak to their mothers, both living and deceased. From Joyce Carol Oates to Barbara Kingsolver, from Ntozake Shange to Hilma Wolitzer, these writers deliver messages straight from the heart....
Here are authors of different ages and cultures, many of them mothers and grandmothers themselves, each writing in her own distinctive voice, sharing her secret sorrows, joys, hurt, anger, and understanding. "What do I tell her? What do I not tell her? What do I wish I had said?"
Their thoughtful, provocative, funny, and sometimes painful letters hold revelations -- memories and confessions, poems and tales -- at once personal and universal, touching and profound.

Constance Warloe, pictured here with her mother, is the author of a novel, The Legend of Olivia Cosmos Montevideo, and is at work on her second, The Autobiography of Annie Rose Denim. Married and the mother of twin sons, she lives in Sacramento and will complete the M.F.A. program at Bennington College in June 1998. She was chair of the Creative Writing Program at American River College in Sacramento from 1987 to 1995 and founding editor of the award-winning American River Literary Review.
