Synopsis

The most influential relationship we will ever have is with mother. We would not be alive without it. We would not be who we are today without the years of constant engagement with her. Our relationship with Mom is typically filled with love and gratitude and safety. So we are hesitant and perhaps a bit frightened to develop our own ideas and feelings and values. But we must if we are to have a healthy and happy relationship with others. This book describes the process of letting go that quiets shame and results in more self love and joy.

From the Inside Flap

The most intense, profound, humanly absorbing experience we have is with mother. No one is finished with mother, the priest in his pulpit, the guru in the lotus position before a thousand devotees, the Supreme Court justice writing a landmark decision is not finished with mother. No one is, ever, asserts author James M. McMahon. In this little book he shows you how to stay awake in this relationship, to celebrate the love and to leave the troubled parts behind.
