How would you be influenced if your mom died giving your daily life? And how would such a damage affect your children? These questions will be the foundation of several issues lifted by the writer in her search for the missing pieces of a grandmother who in 1905 passed on offering the author's mom life. It was a tragedy that seemed to affect multiple generations, the voids in identity and ill-spent guilt streaming from the stream of blood that kept mother from daughter, and then from granddaughter. But it was a search well-spent. The Reverend Roger Mohr, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Detroit, may have said it best. "Usually the tapestry of family history does not seem to be to provide us the type of quality about who we've become, and just why. And sometimes the narrative tells us a tale about ourselves that we do not desire to accept." Nancy Owen Nelson's search led to raising more questions about herself, even while it replied questions about her secret grandmother. Nonetheless, in the long run her voyage toward discovery was one of startling self-awareness and connection. Whether or not you feel connected or lost in family, you will be unable to prevent the heartfelt pleasure and pain that originates from the author's brave attempt to hook up three generations of Southern women.
