Publisher's summary

Three sisters. Three childhoods ruined. One chance to heal the scars of the past.

After their death of their cruel and abusive mother, estranged sisters Alex, Catherine and Beth reunite once again.

Alex, the youngest, is a bitter, unhappy woman who refuses to face the horrors of her childhood. Finding solace in a bottle, her life is spiraling dangerously out of control.

Eldest child, Catherine, has striven for success, despite her difficult upbringing. But behind the carefully constructed façade lies a secret that could shatter her world forever.

Beth, the middle child, bore the greatest burden. But having blocked out the cruelty they suffered, she remained with their mother until her death. Now she must confront the devastating reality of the past.

Brought together as strangers, the sisters embark on a painful journey to heal themselves and each other. Can they finally put their terrible childhoods to rest and start over?

Heartwrenching

I love anything and everything written by this author and this book is no exception. Three sisters, so completely different with different issues, find their way back somehow. I love this story even though there were some truly horrible events in places. But the whole ugly truth had to be told to truly understand the dynamics between the sisters. a fantastic listen! The narrator does an excellent job and I would listen to her again and again!

I prefer the original title!

Dear Mother was originally titled The Middle Child. It is about Catherine, Beth, and Alex, three adult sisters who as they deal with their horrid mistreatment by their mother when they were children. if you can listen to the entire novel without shedding any tears, you are a stronger person than I.
