PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Gretchen Staebler is a wandering adventurer who left decades of grown-up life on the East Coast at age sixty to return to the mountains, beaches, and rain of her soul’s home in the Pacific Northwest. She blogs about her adventures from coffee shops, her father’s desk, national park lodges, her tent—wherever she feels cozy. She lives with her cat in Centralia, Washington (the real one).
Mother Lode redefines 'coming of age' in the drama of an independent daughter who moves back to the family home to care for her elderly mother. The story unfolds page by page, week by month, as Gretchen takes us artfully into her relationship with her mother, her sisters, and a house packed with memories. Specific in detail, universal in appeal, told with wit, wisdom, and compassion; if you ever had a mother . . . if you ever had a family . . . if you've ever wondered if you could go home again . . . Mother Lode will intrigue, delight, and open your heart. --Christina Baldwin, author of Storycatcher, Life's Companion, and The Circle Way We come to the support of our aging parents sometimes open-heartedly, sometimes reluctantly. Occasionally, though, we are able to see the strength and love in the contrary parent, knowing our own strength has come from just such a source. The author travels a contradictory journey with her mother toward an end that surprises even her. --Catherine Fransson, author of Loving the Enemy: When the Favorite Parent Dies First
