The daughter of esteemed writer Paula Fox and the mother of
Courtney Love relates "the curse of the first-born daughter" that
has haunted four generations of her family
As an adopted child, Linda Carroll created a magical world of
her own, made up of dramatic adventures and the abiding fantasy
that her real mother would come and take her away. When she finds
herself pregnant at the age of eighteen, she is determined to have
the perfect understanding with her child that she lacked with her
adoptive mother. But readers will know better, for that baby grows
up to be Courtney Love, desperately attention-seeking, deeply
troubled, and one of the most talented women in rock.
Even as a baby, Courtney is beset by mood swings that no doctor can
explain or cure. Her dark moods and paranoia escalate as she grows
up, driving mother and daughter apart. When Courtney has a daughter
of her own, Linda finally decides to find her own biological
mother, and end the estrangement of generations of first-born
daughters.
"Her Mother's Daughter" is Linda Carroll's story of self-discovery
as an adopted daughter, a childlike hippie mother, and a woman
determined to find herself before finding her roots. Set apart from
the typical celebrity memoir by Carroll's gifted storytelling, "Her
Mother's Daughter" gives a fresh perspective on the elusive yet
enduring connections between mothers and daughters, and reveals the
true history of the wildly confabulatory Courtney Love.
