Summary: We Don't Need A Map
Comment: I did not have a mom around because she worked two jobs. I did have a good babysitter. For those of us who do not either see or hear from their mother much, or who might have died at an early age, like mine, there are plenty of other caring women who can and do step in. This is a good book in large part becasue Mrs. Black's insight is thoughtful and mindful. It certianly makes one think. It is not a parenting book but how to be a successful parent and mother when there was very little role modeling done in your growing up years. ...

Summary: Well researched hope for the undermothered
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. I picked it up looking for straightforward advice on how to be a better parent with limited role models available to me but instead found myself learning lessons of a different sort.
As many of the women in this book, I felt the pain of inadequate support from my mother. I have been forced to distance myself from an unsupportive and often destructive mother. The baggage from the loss of her own mother and the unresolved issues of her childhood have contorted her into an unhappy, joyless and often mean adult.
Through this book I have been given a different perspective on what it might have been like for her to grow up without a mother at all and why that would have been so difficult for her. I find my perspective has softened a little and my curiosity and sympathy have been awakened toward her. I find myself wondering about what she was missing and how it might have contributed to who she has become.
I think the best message that I received from this book is that it is possible to be an ordinary good mother even if you didn't have one yourself.
