Katie Hafner dreamed of a perfect year—three generations of women living under one roof, forging new bonds, and healing old wounds. But reality had other plans.
When Katie invites her 77-year-old mother, Helen, to move in with her and her teenage daughter, Zoë, she envisions a chance to reconnect, to create the family dynamic they never had. Instead, unresolved emotions bubble to the surface—memories of divorce, alcoholism, loss, and the lingering pain of unmet expectations. As three generations navigate their differences, laughter and heartache intertwine in an unforgettable journey of love, forgiveness, and self-discovery.
By turns raw, funny, and deeply insightful, Mother Daughter Me is a beautifully written memoir about the complexities of family and the healing power of second chances.
