"Once Upon a Time There Was a Little Girl" shares the moving
stories of seven women who as young girls experienced the early
loss of their mothers through death or physical or emotional
abandonment. The women explore their personal traumas through their
responses to seven fairy tales in which there was no nurturing
maternal presence. Dr. Marcella Shields is a psychologist with over
thirty years of experience who reveals the inspiring journeys of
these women who eventually triumph over suffering and learn to rely
on the bond they have formed with each other to help reclaim their
passion for life. By exploring seven timeless fairy tales in which
the heroine finds her way through the grief of abandonment, the
women offer a deeper understanding of the significance of the
mother-daughter bond and the devastating consequences for the
daughter if this bond is ruptured early. The poignant life stories
and dreams courageously offered by these women show how fairy tales
allowed them to understand and refashion themselves, and provide a
source of encouragement and hope for other women who have
experienced early maternal loss. Fathers raising daughters without
a consistent maternal presence will also find the reflections
valuable.
