When she was twenty, Patricia Reis’s mother asked, “What about
your spiritual life?” Years later, this question drives her
midlife quest to reconcile the desires of her body with the
mandates of her spirit. Motherlines is a candid and compelling
story of sex with men and with women, of celibacy, illegal
abortions, making vows and breaking them, dreams, body wisdom,
creative ambition, and inspiring relationships with memorable
characters. This unflinching memoir illuminates the unvarnished
truth of growing up female in the 1980’s a rich and fertile
period in American history when gender roles were undergoing a
revolution, a time that includes feminism, the women’s
spirituality movement and liberation theology. In her
soul-searching quest for meaning, and longing for maternal
connection, Reis discovers an unlikely confidante in her aunt, a
free-spirited Franciscan nun. Their letters and relationship are a
thread that weaves throughout this memoir – an increasingly
intimate and honest exchange between two women who are living very
different lives yet are both kin and kindred spirits. A spiritual
journey and a creative tour de force, this memoir is a potent and
tender love song to the Motherlines that connect us all.
