Nobody was studying this. Until now.
Some Black daughters are detached from their mothers and yet, it is an experience that has never been examined in Black family life. Black daughters have been navigating their mommy issues without language and without validation. Unmothered by Black Mothers is the first of its kind. Rooted in qualitative research and told through the voices of seventeen Black daughters, this book holds the history, the research, the theology, and the humanity of this experience together.
