Read by Anna Fields, Carrington MacDuffie

Oh no, I'm turning into my mother! Every woman is familiar with the poignant, funny, baffling, or horrifying echoes that resonate at that moment when she first hears her own mother's voice coming out of her mouth. But this moment of recognition is more than ironic: it's at the root of how we see ourselves, and how we plot and follow the arc that goes from childhood to motherhood. Together, Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, cover more than seven decades of daughterhood and motherhood. And although they grew up in dramatically different circumstances, they find that their lives have been shaped in strangely similar ways. In Every Mother is a Daughter, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story, looking honestly at their own lives and at each other, with different perspectives, unique voices, and powerful insight, in the first co-written mother-daughter memoir. "Anna Fields and Carrington MacDuffie…are the perfect combination to highlight this style. The outstanding performance by the two women brings this well written account of a unique family vividly to life. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." "Readers will appreciate the honesty between the pair…The mother-daughter duo triumph over hectic schedules and physical distance through their love of writing and travel…This is a treasure for any generation."
