My mother's daughter : a memoir of struggle and triumph / by Felicien, Perdita,1980-author.;
"A raw and affecting memoir about a mother and daughter who beat the odds together. Perdita Felicien's story is woven into her mother's like an intricate braid. To understand Perdita's story, you must know Catherine's. Catherine is larger than life. At seventeen years old, she is determined and tenacious, and longing to experience a better life. But she is also pregnant with her second child, and just scraping by in St. Lucia by selling homemade jewellery on the beach. So when she meets a wealthy white Canadian family vacationing on the island, she knows she's found her chance. After babysitting the couple's infant son for two weeks, she asks them to bring her to Canada and employ her as a nanny. Somehow, they agree. This was the beginning of Catherine's new life: a life of great opportunity, but also profound suffering. Within a few years, she would find herself pregnant a third time--this time in a new country, Canada, with no family supporting her, and this time, with Perdita. Together, in the years to come, they would experience poverty, racism, domestic abuse and even homelessness, but Catherine's will would always pull them through. As Perdita grew and began to discover her preternatural gifts--athleticism at what would one day prove to be an Olympic level--she was edged onward by her mother's love, grit and faith. Facing literal and figurative hurdles, she learned to leap, and pick herself back up when she stumbled. Beautifully written and deeply absorbing, My mother's daughter is a daughter's memoir--a book about the power of a parent's love to transform their child's life."-- Provided by publisher.

Cat and Nat's mom truths : embarrassing stories and brutally honest advice on the extremely real struggle of motherhood / by Belknap, Catherine,author.; Telfer, Natalie,author.;
"Candid, hilarious, and maybe just a bit R-rated, YouTube sensations Cat & Nat share their stories and insights to lift moms when they're feeling low, reassure them when they're overwhelmed, and make them laugh like they're talking to their own best friend. With seven kids between them, Cat and Nat know a thing or two about parenting. They've connected with their fans by sharing their completely real take on the stress, guilt, and joy of being moms, covering everything from sleep (or a lack thereof) to the hilarity (and struggle) of family vacations. They let us in on the hard stuff, and make us laugh with their Mom Truths; you may not have realized why clubbing is the best preparation for having kids, but they have! (Because the night always ends up with someone random in your bed and a girl crying in the corner.) Loosely structured around the stages of being a mom, Mom Truths features never-before-told stories from Cat's and Nat's lives. Short and digestible for a crazed parent, Mom Truths is peppered with advice and insights. Their goal is to help moms let go of their guilt. And their method is humour. Cat's and Nat's individual voices and the feeling of their close, no-holds-barred friendship is captured on the page, making this the essential companion for moms who feel overwhelmed, and are in need of an honest, funny pick-me-up."--

My mother, a serial killer / by Baron, Hazel,author.; Fife-Yeomans, Janet,author.;
"Dulcie Bodsworth was the unlikeliest serial killer. She was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia, Australia which she called home in the late 1950s, thought of her as kind and caring. The officers at the local police station found Dulcie witty and charming, and they looked forward to the scones and cakes she generously baked and delivered for their morning tea. That was only one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. And what she saw terrified her. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves-- one of them the father of her four children, Ted Baron-- in one of the most infamous periods of Australian criminal history. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. Written by award-winning journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans together with Hazel Baron, My Mother, A Serial Killer is a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail."-- Page [4] of cover.

My mother and I : the inside story of the King and our late Queen / by Seward, Ingrid,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The relationship between the late Monarch and her son, the King, has long been a subject of fascination. The upbringing of an heir is especially important and places an extra burden on top of all the cares of motherhood. The demands placed on the monarch are unique and there was no one better placed to know this than the late Queen. She knew that not only must they be figureheads, but they must be seen to care for others less fortunate than themselves. They are also expected to uphold family values. Princess Elizabeth made it a point of maternal honour to try and build her routine around her young son while doing her duty. When she became Queen, it was a more delicate balance, but one which she eventually learnt to sustain. Unlike his self-contained mother, who always put duty above personal happiness, King Charles needed love and support to function properly. This is the story of how Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to. As Queen she held the Pandora's box of the crown and all he could do was wait and learn. In his mother's old age, he finally received the affection and respect from her he had craved for so long. This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends, from the moment the guns saluted his birth to the day he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.

Finding the mother tree : discovering the wisdom of the forest / by Simard, S.(Suzanne),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A world-leading expert shares her amazing story of discovering the communication that exists between trees, and shares her own story of family and grief. Dr. Suzanne Simard was born and raised in the rainforests of British Columbia and has forged a lifelong relationship of love and respect with the trees. This relationship was the driving force behind her decision to dedicate her life to better understanding the forest and the network that connects the plant life within. With humour, emotion, and the narrative drive of a lifelong storyteller, Dr. Simard takes readers on an intimate journey of groundbreaking scientific discovery. Linking her research to her personal experiences, she recounts her life's work uncovering the "Wood Wide Web," the underground mycelium network that connects all the trees and plants within a forest. It is a network that allows them to share not only nutrients, but information, all of which originates from the hubs called Mother Trees. Readers will journey with Dr. Simard into this massive experiment, from dramatic encounters with wildlife to the groundbreaking "Aha" moments in a lab, from learning how to utilize this network to promote plant growth to what this network can teach us about combatting climate change. Dramatic, funny, touching, and evocative, Finding the Mother Tree offers an intimate and personal look at discovery. This book is not about how we can save the trees, but about how the trees might actually save us."--
