“When Bad Mothers Happen” by Abigail George

Overview

For almost as long as she can remember, Jean has been feeling unloved by her unpredictable, manipulative and temperamental mother. Her depressive father has his limitations; Jean’s relationship with a brother and sister is tense. Isolated and depressed, Jean builds a rich inner world comprising family dysfunction, bullying, hospitalization, escapism, promiscuity, and deep devotion to creative pursuits.

“When Bad Mothers Happen” is a heart-wrenching story about what might have been. Narrative, poetic prose, and streams of consciousness overlap to deliver a forceful message about the consequences of abandonment.
