For every daughter who has triumphed despite having a less-than-perfect relationship with her mother.
What is it like to be your mother's daughter? This is a difficult question for most daughters to answer. Jan Marquart has responded in her intimate and revealing Lunch with Mom: A Daughter's Soliloquy. Although Jan's mother passed away in 1984, her relationship with her mother has remained alive in her heart. For years, she wrote a lengthy letter to her mother describing her life; now she is sharing this soliloquy with others.
Lunch at The Green Tea Room after a day of shopping was one of the few occasions when Jan Marquart felt a comfortable connection with her mom. This is why, decades after her mom's passing, she invites her there again. Over grilled cheese, french fries, and a Coke, Jan openly and unashamedly shares the complex feelings resulting from a lifetime of being raised by a mother who was unwilling or unable to let her go.
Lunch with Mom: A Daughter's Soliloquy brings to light the awesome power a mother has over the life of her daughter. It is a bittersweet, fiery, reflective, and ultimately grateful tribute that will resonate with any daughter who has, or had, a complicated relationship with her mother.
