Faithful Daughter: 30 Women. 30 Stories. 1 Faith.

Every faithful mom was first a daughter, and the complexities of that relationship influence a woman’s choices and behavior into adulthood, even to future generations.

This intimate collection of essays, released in time for Mother’s Day, transparently illustrates the shared struggles of daughters everywhere in stories that are sweet, angry, funny, and sad. As the authors—who include New York Times bestselling novelists, a Poet Laureate, journalists, professors, a noted chef, and popular bloggers—search their relationships with their moms.

Their heartfelt, sometimes raw remembrances beckon readers to lean in emotionally and consider their own history. The result is a beautifully written book that can be gifted to any faithful daughter longing to understand the inevitable imprint of the woman who gave her life.
