My Mother before Me
. Secaucus, N.J.: Lyle Stuart, 1986.
Who was my mother before she had me? What kind of person was she? These are questions Ms. Gundlach never got to ask her mother. She died before Ms. Gundlach got the chance. This book is a tribute to her mother. It tells the story of generations of mothers and daughters. This collection of first hand accounts by daughters of their mothers is more than sentimental remembrances. It positively connects one generation to the next. I plan to use excerpts from this book in my class next year. It provides excellent background material for this unit.
