"From My Mother's Hands" celebrates the positive roles mothers can
play in the lives of daughters. In a collection of poignant memoirs
crafted from interviews with thirty-three notable Texas women,
Susie Kelly Flatau weaves a tapestry of intimate memories, family
photographs and recipes, and profiles of each daughter. The
daughters' observations and discoveries about their mothers are
filled with a wide range of emotions. Lessons of integrity, love,
and hope chronicle the powerful bonds that can exist between a
daughter and her mother.\r\n\r\n
"Every day is Mother's Day in this wonderful collection of
daughters' memories of their mothers their guidance, their
endurance, even their recipes. And what remarkable daughters speak
here! This is a tribute to two generations".\r\n\r\n
Nancy Baker Jones, Ph.D., independent scholar specializing in
Texas women's history.

"Capitol Women" and the video

"So many books are about what went wrong. This is a book about what
went right. There is immense wisdom in these lives, wisdom that
mentors us, inspires us, gives us hope for our own future and our
children's future. The section on [Creating Your Own Mother's
Journal] is both an occasion for reflection and a reminder of what
is yet possible".\r\n
Chuck Meyer, author of "Twelve Smooth Stones: A Father Writes to
His Daughter
About Money, Sex, Spirituality and Other Things That Really
Matter"\r\n\r\n
