Most people who talk about motherhood start out by telling you how much they always wanted to be a mom. Not Lisa-Jo Baker. She was 18 and growing up in South Africa when her mom died, and she swore she would never have kids. But then she fell in love with an American boy with cowboy-green eyes, married him, and now, a decade and two continents later, they have three. This is the unlikely story of how she got there.

The state of our world demonstrates clearly that we have all been touched by the Mother Wound. For thousands of years, mothers have been dis-empowered, shamed, belittled, and abused. As a result, many mothers have developed victim mentalities, which result in their being unable to love fully, neglecting their loved ones, and even competing with their children for control and attention. A woman with the Mother Wound will experience an intense struggle not to pass it on to her children.

Stronger is the must-listen guide to the bodily changes encountered by all women following pregnancy, with explanations, exercises and friendly, accessible advice to protect, stabilise and rehabilitate.

When her six-year-old daughter found her collapsed on the kitchen floor, Rachel had no idea how much her life was about to change. A brain scan revealed a dark shadowy mass, a huge abnormal growth of tissue that, whilst benign, was still growing and would surely kill her. It was too big to operate on. It needed to be "managed", and Rachel had, at best, two years to live. Refusing to accept the bleak prognosis, Rachel was determined to stay alive.

"Congratulations on the resurrection of your life", a colleague wrote to Emily Rapp Black when she announced the birth of her second child. The line made Rapp Black pause.

Since that time, her life had changed utterly.

No more dumbing down and invalidating the experiences of daughters of NMs. No more talk of the loving and caring mother in a space that’s supposed to be for healing daughters of NMs. Whether or not you have a narcissistic mother, everyone should learn about them. By becoming aware of and recognizing their traits and behavior, you could help save the life of a child. Other books on daughters of narcissistic mothers on the market are more self-help and psychologically oriented, while this audiobook is more scholarly and sociological, and considers the social forces at play.
