What makes a
fictional mom memorable to me? It could be a girl who has survived an important
tragedy, or one who’s made nice sacrifice. It could be a mom who has confronted
unspeakable decisions, struggled with a choice, after which lived with the
penalties. It could be a mom who has made errors,
or one who longs for issues she will by no means have, or one who overcomes nice
obstacles to attain the issues she’s at all times dreamed of.
What all of those “mom
characters” have in frequent—the one factor they exhibit apart from loving their
kids—is they’re girls first. They got here to parenthood with
secrets and techniques or yearnings after which made their method in a world
the place their futures might or might not have been inside their management.
Day upon us, I’ve scanned my bookcases for the spines that immediately evoke
characters who’re memorable moms. There are various from which to choose (!), however I’ve
boiled this 12 months’s record all the way down to the eight books beneath. What books have
you learn that function memorable moms?
