PUBLICATION BY JADED IBIS PRESS
Anne Hope, daughter of German immigrants and wife to an ambitious but abrasive husband, only wants what is best for her two daughters. In a world of mid-century conformity and female oppression, this path is fraught with pitfalls, and actions often bring unintended consequences. Anne finds refuge in a summer home within the Colorado woods, but a mental-health crisis soon emerges, one that will rewrite her sense of self and her familyโs future.ย ย
In this stirring family saga, My Motherโs Autobiography takes readers on a journey from the highs of the sweeping Colorado mountains to the lows of cold sanitariums: all written with heart-wrenching empathy from the pen of one of Anneโs daughters.
My Mother’s Autobiography is available now on Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Thriftbooks or Amazon!
