2. Mother-Daughter Memories: Loved Revealed edited by Dena Clayton - 2013-01-12 03:38:50-05
   There are 9 authors in this anthology. Here is a link to their full 100-word bios: http://loverevealedstories.com/author-biographies/ The women are from Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. One grew up in South Africa, another in New Zealand. While each one has a unique history and way of viewing the world, all enjoy writing and all found the courage to bring captivating memories to readers. In an excerpt from the Preface's beginning, Dena shares the first seed of discovery for this eBook project, which began four and a half months before it was published: On a star-filled, balmy July night, while reading an article about Lynn Redgrave’s play, Nightingale, a crystallized plan emerged in an instant. My vision was to invite women to write memories of their mothers or daughters. Their stories need not end with happily-ever-after resolutions, and I was hoping some evidence or realization of love would appear somewhere in each story. It would then be my task to bridge these stories into a book. I knew that I was being nudged to include a particular story from my own mother’s life about an evening she spent with her mother, my grandmother. Within a week, I discovered that my favorite writing teacher was offering a retreat near my home in Maryland. Max Regan is a brilliant and hilarious teacher par excellence. From that first July evening, I had been aware that he would be the one to guide me through the labyrinth of the entire process. Max and my companion retreat participants were enthusiastic about the project. In fact, a few of the women have stories in this anthology. Invitations were emailed. Folks responded and submission guidelines were sent six weeks before the stories’ due date. Excitement bubbled up as I anticipated their arrival. I savored the stories. I fell in love with each set of memories, with each pair of daughters and mothers in their struggles with loving and living. Often, I found their memories drawing my attention to aspects of the relationship I had shared with my mother. Based on my own reactions, I sensed that readers would feel embraced by these stories as well.
