The challenge for mothers of sons is to realize that because we do not share a sexual identity, that because we have not grown up in a male body, we cannot presume to understand everything there is to know about our sons' worlds. -- Patricia Stevens
Between Mothers and Sons is the first anthology in which women writers attempt to answer the question that all mothers have contemplated in the course of mothering the opposite sex: Who is this male child who came out of my body? Or, as a pregnant Mary Gordon said when her doctor told her she was having a boy, Oh, my God. What am I supposed to do with one of them?
