A really beautiful memoir, tracing Moraga's relationship with her mother and her mother's history. I think it didn't click with me entirely because of where I'm at in my life, and so some of Moraga's long mourning for her mother as her mother succumbed to Alzheimer's felt repetitive to me, but might connect better to someone who has had to go through something similar. Regardless, Moraga's explorations of her family's dynamics and what it means to lose a matriarch were really powerful, and this is a book I might return to in the future.
