"A useful challenge to accepted wisdom about the normally taboo subject of mother love, with helpful tips on how to jump-start the healing process." -- Kirkus Reviews on Mothers Who Can't Love "A riveting, compassionate guide to helping women transcend the wounds inflicted by their rejecting or abusive mothers. Forward doesn't dole out unearned forgiveness, but teaches daughters to rise above the violation of the past, claim a healthy view of themselves, and have the courage, vision, and separate sense of self to claim their own lovability and express their love to the next generation of children." -- Janis Abrahms Spring, Ph.D., author of How Can I Forgive You? The Courage to Forgive, The Freedom Not To on Mothers Who Can't Love "Breathe a sigh of relief! Susan Forward helps you identify and correct an intensely destructive and confusing pattern of relating with those you love. I highly recommend this important book!" -- Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, on Emotional Blackmail
