Erin’s Reviews > Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance > Status Update

This book got a lot of hype but I don’t think it’s very good. There were some paragraphs in it that were good, but most of it leaves me asking, “Who is this for?” It describes the damage done but it doesn’t say what to do about any of it—or I haven’t gotten to that part yet? No idea.

I’m fairly certain that I read, in the beginning of this book, that this is NOT a parenting book and shouldn’t be thought of as one… and then nearly the whole book is about what babies need. I don’t understand why this book was so hyped. There’s a lot of stuff where I’m like, “Ok so my mom fucked up in every possible way,” but it isn’t helpful info, because it’s not solutions-focused.
